THE LANDSCAPE TODAY
Business Continuity Today
Business Continuity in the Cloud
• Approximately 40% of organisations use tape (EMC data)
• A legacy practice which will survive for some time
• Tape is cheap
• Tape is familiar and easy manage (for example with patching multiple environments)
• AWS Glacier rumoured to use Spectralogic tape libraries to help lower costs
• Large organisations/companies operate large business continuity regimes usually for regulatory reasons
• UK wholesale data centre market driven by banks seeking DR
• Phantom trading floors near Heathrow airport
• Many companies have no DR at all
• sub 1,000 employees about half have no plans in place at all (Symantec survey)
Not Just RTO and RPO• Availability is underestimated
• Read the SLA to make sure it covers everything
• As data sets become larger, network can be a serious bottleneck
• 10TB over 10mb takes 10 days
• Data centre concentration
• Some data more important than others
• Not always the CEO’s email
• HR, university counselor, sales staff
• Endpoints may need back up (BYOD)

• Use case: major product launch, impending natural
• Can be taken down quickly, matches use to cost exactly
• Can be scaled up and down to match importance/sensitivity of data
• Less sensitive data backed up by snapshot more sensitive using full live/live environment
