The Always-On Business

The business has changed:- Customers, partners,

suppliers, employees: everyone is connected

- Everyone needs access to information

- Anytime, everywhere


The Challenge for IT

New requirements for IT:- Access to applications

and data everywhere anytime- No patience for outage or loss- Amount of data skyrocketing

The always-on business

While risk is increasing:- More complex IT

- Outage, Data Loss

- Disaster


Business Continuity, Disaster Recoverysolutions: - very expensive- only for a few

applications

Backup Solutions:- Affordable,

for all applications- But recovery time

too long - Data loss

The always-onbusiness

CurrentSolutions

The availability gap


The Key 5 Questions:- How quickly can you recover what you need?

- What are you doing to reduce the risk of data loss?

- What are you doing to ensure everything is recoverable when you need it?

- How do you mitigate risks from new applications and changes?

- How do you detect potential issues before they have an impact?
