Traditionally, business continuity planning has meant making a significant investment in new hardware designed to mirror the primary data center. The result is that some companies compromise - limiting disaster coverage to only the most critical applications.
Today, that compromise is no longer necessary. In this compelling white paper, learn how "virtual machines" can be run on a single piece of hardware so that the data center can be treated as one single pool of processing, storage, and networking power. Step by step, you'll learn how to:
- Effectively assess the impact of an outage
- Develop a commercially feasible business continuity strategy
- Implement business continuity plans with rapid recovery times
- Create a virtual infrastructure to transform physical systems into a pool of logical computing resources
- Adopt an incremental approach, making use of existing hardware.
Packed with examples, and including comprehensive information on developing a virtual infrastructure for your company, this paper is a valuable tool for companies seeking to lower the cost of business continuity, extending disaster coverage to more applications, and reducing recovery time.
