– Super Storm Sandy
• 24 Seven International
– International staffing company for creative industries
• Payroll and personnel records in Manhattan office
– Lost power for almost a week
• Recovery system allowed rapid shift of operations to Los Angeles office
– “We tested each recovery node to make sure it would come up OK, and we tested the synchronization between offices. During the storm, everything came up right away, according to plan. Working with the staff in LA, we were able to bring everything up within an hour.“
— Doug Feltman, director of systems and applications

Lessons Learned: Business IT Disaster Recovery
• Natural disasters grab headlines, but mundane problems more common
– Facilities (fire, plumbing...)
– Hardware (disk failure, board burnout...)
– Software (BSOD, update gone rogue...)
– User Error (deletion regret...)
• Big gap between “ought to work” and “known to work”– Frequent testing only way to
bridge this gap
• Backups automated, yet most recovery still manual
• It’s not about backup, but how fast you’re back up

Traditional Backup• Lengthy restore—hours
or days
• Infrequent, inconvenient testing
• Unwieldy, unsecure offsite media
Issues with current options forprotecting servers, applications and data
Replicated Data Center• Costs more than double
• Complex to integrateand maintain multiple components
Cloud Backup (Storage)• Longer restore because of
limited download
• Waiting for media shipments
