Disaster Recovery

'Disaster Recovery' beyond backup has always been viewed as essential, but too complex and expensive.  Recent compliance regulations (e.g. HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, BASEL and SEC rules) have pressured organizations of all sizes to make data such as company files, databases and e-mail quickly recoverable and to increase their retention period to several years.

Moreover, with business operations extending across countries, companies of all sizes are recognizing the requirement to have a total business continuity and disaster recovery environment to ensure that their IT operations are completely protected against natural and unnatural disasters and outages.
Telematics helps businesses achieve rapid recovery with 'Near-Current' copies and copies replicated to a geographically separate Disaster Recovery site.

No blanket Disaster Recovery policy would suit all business applications as each application is unique in nature and criticality. Telematics works with businesses to ascertain the following in the context of each critical business approach:

• The RPO (Recovery Point Objective) or the point beyond which data cannot be re-created and must be preserved in the event of a disaster. 
• The RTO (Recovery Time Objective) or the time required to recover the data and make it available to users after a disaster has occurred.

RPO determines how frequently a copy of the data must be created and RTO determines how soon it can be recovered.  An answer to these factors helps decide the tools to employ in achieving the Disaster Recovery objective.

Telematics deploys tools like snap shot, cloning, disk staging, CDP (continuous data protection) and replication (array-based/ host-based/ synchronous/ asynchronous) to help customers achieve Disaster Recovery objectives.
