HP's Disaster Proof Solutions: Ensuring Application Availability

Overview

HP built a highly available, disaster tolerant multi-data center environment to test and demonstrate its availability and recoverability solutions. Rather than just simulate one, HP created an actual disaster that rendered the primary site immediately useless in order to show the effectiveness of the HP solutions at failing over to the secondary site in just seconds. ESG's services were retained to provide an independent, third party expert validation of this impressive test. This ESG white paper, sponsored by HP, provides view of the current market as well as thoughts on HP's role in this market. It outlines the actual test environment and concludes with view and impressions.
