IT professionals know that the ultimate test of the data protection process is performing a recovery; whether a single server recovery or recovering an entire data center. That said, we are all guilty of focusing too much on the backup process rather than trying to reduce the amount of downtime following a system failure. In this webinar, George Crump, founder of Storage Switzerland and Ian McChord from Datto will provide you with the five critical questions you need to answer in order to reduce or even eliminate downtime.

The SMB IT Professional Challenge
The Business Owner Challenge
• You have a lot of hats to wear
• You are the “team”. Can’t focus just on backups
• User and Owner Expectations Are High
• Downtime means losing productivity and customers.
• Budgets Are Low• IT budget comes directly from
the owner•
Can The Cloud Make You a Hero?
The Cloud Promise
• Better Backups• Proven for laptops, can it scale to
servers? Can high quality backups be captured? Can it help with migrations?
• How Can the Cloud Help With Recoveries?
• Do all my recoveries have to come from the cloud? Can I recovery in the cloud? What does that process look like?
Better Backups?
• Insure a quality backup• Recovery, of any kind, can’t
happen without a quality backup
• Requires getting the backup done
• Look for hybrid approach, WAN optimization (dedupe, compression), hot application backups, broad platform coverage
Better Backups?
• Insure Quality Storage• Look for backup verification, data
integrity checks
• Recovery Testing• The acid test. Actual recovery of
the application. Can this be done quickly or even automatically?
Better Backups
• Can Backup Scale?• From Laptops to Servers to
Virtual environments? Can it help with migrations?
• Is Your Backup Data Secure?
• Is data encrypted so only your company can get to it?
What about Disasters?
• What Kind of Disaster Do You Need Protection From?
• All of them; Loss of a file, corrupted application, failed server and inaccessible building
• How Are These Different?
• Everything short of a site disaster should be recovered from a local appliance for speed. In a site failure the cloud could play a key roll…
• But…
Disasters Require New Thinking
• All of your servers can’t squeeze down an internet connection in time
• Lots of options, including pre-loading servers, creating tape copies or hard drive copies. But all require data transfer (local) and shipping
• Enter DRaaS• Disaster Recovery as a Service.
The ability to run your entire business in the cloud backup provider’s data center
DRaaS Require New Agreements
• How Does DRaaS Work?• Will the provider help with
networking and compute configs?
• How Quickly Can the virtual data center be brought online?
• Some providers make no assurances, other commit to many hours or days.
• Can the Provider’s Data Center Scale?
• In a regional disaster they may have to deal with dozens or hundreds of disaster declarations, can they support that?
