There are many types of protection solutions available, and choosing the right solution for your data can be challenging. One of the biggest obstacles to choosing an effective protection solution is cost.
Server virtualization and real-time data replication and failover technology are capabilities that provide a high level of data protection while keeping costs at a minimum. SYBER provides a best-in-class software solution that provides these cost-saving technologies in combination with unparallel data protection for businesses of any size.
Virtualization and real-time data replication and failover are just a few of the many tools available on the market today for protecting critical data and systems. To begin to understand when these tools are appropriate and how to implement them, it is important to know what systems are to be protected and the level of protection you require, based on some key metrics we can place a value on your protection needs.
- The first key metric is the recovery point objective. (RPO)
- The second critical metric is recovery time objective (RTO).
Once such recovery objectives as RPO and RTO have been quantified, most organizations discover that traditional tape backup alone is not good enough to achieve their goals for many critical applications and servers. For this reason, many organizations deploy such technologies as data replication and application availability coupled with operating system virtualization. Deployed properly, a solution based on these technologies can provide protection superior to tape backup at a fraction of the cost of hardware-based or clustering-based solutions.
