Recover from Outages in Minutes – Not Hours

According to Dell, you no longer have days – or even hours – to recover from outages, as “Today’s internal and external users have much higher expectations when it comes to server availability: they want to see applications available all the time, 24 hours a day in many cases. This raises the bar for recovery time objectives (RTOs), where critical virtual and physical machines must be recoverable in a matter of minutes, rather than hours.” Dell’s Building higher IT business continuity in the face of disaster white paper outlines five steps to a better disaster recovery program, as well as steps to improve your responsiveness during an emergency.
