Poll
How do YOU prepare for a disaster?
Major vs. Minor Disasters
● In most cases there is some warning
● Wide-spread outage impacting many
● Public knowledge
● Many cases NO warning● Impacts one server or one
application● Damage to reputation
Causes of Minor Disasters
Unexpected Peak
Demand
The Challenges of Minor Disasters
● Users are impacted by the downtime but not by the situation that caused the disaster
● Users expectation is a rapid RTO or now downtime at all
● A Minor disaster requires even better planning time
Creating a Minor Disaster Recovery Plan
Unexpected Peak
Demand
Creating a Minor Disaster Plan
● Plan
● Implement
● Test
Planning for Minor Disaster
● Identify Mission/Critical Apps
● Understand their Recovery Time and Recovery Point Objectives
● Anything less with an RTO/RPO of less than 1 hour needs to leverage some form of replication
● Less than 30 minutes - add some sort of “warm” server or VM
Implementing a Minor DRP strategy
● Key Components of a Minor DRP● Replication locally and remotely
● Backups won’t cut itOn-Site Disk Backup
• How often are copies made? (RPO). Not often enough
Implementing a Minor DRP strategy
● Key Components of a Minor DRP● Replication locally and remotely
● Backups won’t cut itOn-Site Disk Backup
• How often are copies made? (RPO). Not often enough
• How long will it take to transfer data back? (deduplication and compression won’t help)
Implementing a Minor DRP strategy
● Key Components of a Minor DRP● Replication locally and remotely
● Warm VMs / data center
● Hypervisor Aware Replication

“Accelerite’s Rovius looks like a solution to this mobility problem, one that may help companies realize the freedom and flexibility that sold them on virtualization and the cloud to begin with.”
“You are approaching this in the right way, we are not seeing a lot of companies focusing on workload and orchestration in this way. This is especially important for DRaaS, which we see only growing in the future.” Forrester
“Accelerite's favor is the fact that it has a large parent company with considerable software development expertise and a large installed base. In addition, unlike its startup rivals, Accelerite already has experience in disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) via its rCloud service, which is the result of Persistent's acquisition of Doyenz. But Accelerite's success may depend in part on how rapidly it can add support for other hypervisors and clouds.”
