The State of Disaster Recovery

Ø Disaster recovery is a key business need

Ø Almost half of respondents in a recent survey indicate that they do not have a solution that would allow recovery in the event of a natural disaster

Yes52%

No48%

Do you have a failover solution that can protect your organization from a disaster such as a hurricane,

tornado, or other event that results in the loss of a data center? (N=348)

The cost of an outage averages $20,000 per hour

-- IDC Research

Today’s Disaster Recovery Challenge

Ø IT Organizations are too busy

Ø DR is at the bottom of the list (in time and funding)

Ø If we have DR, we built it using 5-10 year old technology

Ø Infrastructure and apps are changing faster than the DR plan can adapt to

Ø If there is any budget for DR, you must maximize TCO

Ø IT Orgs need a solution that makes DR easy

What is Cloud-Based DR?

u Critical data is replicated offsite to a secure public cloud

u Virtual machines (and associated apps/data) can be powered on for testing at any time

u In the event of a disaster, virtual machines (and associated apps/data) can be powered up, almost instantaneously

What are the Costs Associated with Cloud-Based DR?

You pay to:

u Store your replicated datau Power virtual machines for testing or recovery

You don’t pay to:

u Build or outfit a secondary datacenter

u Buy servers, storage and networking

u Maintain and administer a secondary datacenter

Comparing Costs: Traditional DR vs. Cloud-Based DR

Traditional DR (secondary site):u DC Infrastructure – racks, UPS, power,

cooling, WAN/Internet

u Servers, storage, network gear

u OS and other licenses

u Replication / failover tool

u Maintenance contracts

u Ongoing electricity for power and cooling

u Administration – upgrades, etc

Cloud-Based DR:u Replication / failover tool

u Storage of data / usage

u DR testing usage

u Recover usage

Comparing Costs: Traditional DR vs. Cloud-Based DR

To compare the cost between traditional DR and cloud-based DR, you’ll need to know:

u Number of hosts / VMs

u Size of the data

u Rate of change of the data

u RPO / RTO

These can be tough to calculate

Enterprise-Grade Disaster RecoveryWithout Breaking the Bank

October 2016

According to CloudEndure’s 2016 Disaster Recovery Survey, the biggest challenges are:

Insufficient IT resources

Budget limitations

Lack of in-house expertise

Disaster Recovery Practices & Trends

Insufficient IT resources • 19%

Budget Limitations • 17%

Lack of In-house expertise • 16%

Keeping up with the pace of change/growth • 14%

Limit on our ability to prevent software bugs • 11%

Cloud resource capacity •9%

Limit on our ability to prevent configuration errors •8%

Coping with peak demand • 7%

But, why not?

Just ask Delta Airlines - A mere 5-hour outage in August 2016 cost them over $150 million. Organizations today understand the critical need to recover fast from IT outages, application failures, malicious attacks to:

• Ensure resilience

• Stay competitive

• Avoid regulatory risks

• Keep customers happy

• Maintain reputation

Disaster Recovery: No Longer “Nice-to-Have”

So, What’s the Problem?

“Why don’t all enterprises have air-tight, 100% reliable business continuity disaster recovery strategies in place?”

“Can’t IT departments simply set up multiple data centers that continually replicate workloads and when a disaster strikes, just redirect to the DR site?”

3 Disaster Recovery Strategies

To answer these questions, let’s first examine the three main DR strategies currently used by enterprises, while focusing on the expected costs of each:

On-Premise Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery

On-Premises Disaster Recovery Enterprises have traditionally handled IT disasters internally, but to keep an on-premise disaster recovery solution up-to-date requires a large investment:

DR Infrastructure & Services: IT resiliency solution requires duplicate infrastructure to restore entire systems to previous state, incurring capital expenditures & operating expenses.

Software Licenses: Duplicate third-party software licenses required, plus application or DR-specific replication software.

Management Monitoring: IT staff resources necessary to manage & monitor DR software & infrastructure.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)Due to high costs and the expertise needed to implement on-premise DR, many turn to third-party DRaaS providers for failover support in case of disaster:

DR Infrastructure & Services: Normally more cost effective than on-premise DR, but very costly compared to the economies of scale of a cloud provider

Software Licenses: May still need to duplicate licenses for applications so they’re available quickly during disaster.

Management Monitoring: No need to pay additional on-premise IT staff, but must pay DRaaS provider. (Costs differ by vendor.)

Cloud-Based Disaster RecoveryThe revolution in disaster recovery began a few years ago with the advancement of cloud technology and the pay-as-you-go approach of public clouds.

DR Infrastructure & Services: Keeps an organization’s data in real-time sync using lightweight compute and storage without duplicate hardware needed, until you actually need it.

Software Licenses: No need to purchase duplicate software licenses for your standby DR site.

Management Monitoring: Automation for DR, so fewer IT resources required to launch or maintain DR solution.

Is the Cheaper Option Necessarily the Better One?

The Answer = It Depends

Technology for cloud-based DR can vary greatly from one vendor to another

Some cannot guarantee data consistency or support all of your applications

Others may impact your server performance or deliver inadequate RPO or RTO

The right DR technology should enable you to achieve the enterprise-grade resilience and performance of on-premise and DRaaS solutions, but with the dramatic cost reduction of the cloud.

Additional Benefits of Cloud-Based Disaster RecoveryWhen using the most advanced technology, Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery provides additional benefits, including:

Easy Testability -- Quickly spin up machines for your periodic DR drills without disrupting your source environment.

Self-Service DR -- Configure your cloud environment, replicate your servers, and perform your DR drills whenever you want. Deployment is easy, and access to cloud resources is instantaneous.

Flexibility Between Infrastructures -- Protect physical, virtual, or cloud-based machines. Use public cloud of your choice & easily move to a different cloud provider if desired.

Disaster Recovery & Live Migration to the Cloud

Case Study: ClickSoftware’s RPO Goes From 24 Hours to Last Transaction

1. ClickSoftware had in-house disaster recovery solution but needed to upgrade to keep up with rapid growth.

2. Wanted to use AWS as their DR infrastructure

3. System integrator recommended CloudEndure

for AWS-based DR solution

4. Implemented “Continuous Replication Protection” without system disruption

• RPO = seconds RTO = minutes

• Lower TCO

• Non-disruptive drills

“One of the things I love about CloudEndure is that it replicates not only machines and data, but the entire application stack. With CloudEndure we were able to move from losing up to a day’s worth of data to what we call

‘up to the last transaction.’”- Igal Korach, Director of Cloud Operations, ClickSoftware
