Data recovery in a hybrid environment

Category: Data recovery

3 September, 2012

As companies become ever more virtualised, the majority of IT operations are a combination of physical and virtual systems: a hybrid environment. This poses a challenge to those who require reliable data recovery – what is the best protection in hybrid environments?

Multiple storage platforms, multiple computing platforms, multiple operating systems, and a mix of physical and virtual environments pose a huge threat to the reliability of data recovery. Were disaster to strike and the enterprise had not created the identical physical and virtual stacks in its recovery environment, the recovery could fail.

The enterprise requires the ability to recuperate all of its layers for the recovery to work.

For data recovery to be successful in a hybrid environment, an enterprise needs the right technologies for each platform. In addition, a company requires the correct staff and expertise, a thorough recovery plan, and a strict policy on updating all changes in production configurations – making sure they are included into the recovery environment.
