whitepaper New Generation NAS - Advanced File System Replication for Affordable Business Continuity and DR Solutions0000-00-00 Agami Systems
  Business continuity is fast becoming critically important to businesses. The challenge in maintaining business continuity needs to be addressed at two levels - local redundancy for continuous data protection and remote mirroring for disaster recovery. As a recent spate of natural disasters has shown, we need to plan ahead for disruptions rather than start patching up at the last moment. A key aspect of disaster recovery (DR) planning is duplicating business-critical data efficiently and storing it remotely at an offsite location with the objective of restoring it quickly should the need arise. Today's "always-on" business requires continuous data protection with an integrated disaster recovery plan. New generation NAS devices with advanced software features such as network-efficient file system replication with integrated snapshots offer businesses the benefits of business continuity and DR at a price that is hard to beat. New generation NAS devices enable planning for data backup by making the entire process fast, simple, reliable, efficient, and very inexpensive to own and operate.

whitepaper Veritas NetBackup Bare Metal Restore by Symantec: Best-of-Breed Server Recovery Using Veritas NetBackup Version 6.02006-09-19 Symantec
  This paper describes Veritas NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR), an option to NetBackup 6.0 that eliminates the need for disparate bare metal recovery methodologies and greatly improves the speed and simplicity of system recovery by providing a common methodology utilizing the normal backup data within NetBackup. When a solution is capable of bare metal recovery, it means that the hardware onto which the system is being recovered can be devoid of an operating system or initialized disks. The standard features of Bare Metal Restore such as the configuration editor, point-in-time recovery, and External Procedures are unequaled in the market today, and demonstrate the leadership of NetBackup in executing the most important part of backup - the restore.

whitepaper Remote Server Management for SMB Server Rooms and Data Centers white paper0000-00-00 Raritan
  Today's server rooms and data centers are challenging environments to control and manage. IT staffs need to be experts in all types of equipment that make up today's data centers, including servers, routers, switches and other devices. They are charged with maintaining operations performance in multiple locations with limited resources - all while keeping costs down. BIOS-level control or console-level control is critical in bringing up a downed server. This is where hardware-based KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) and serial console management tools are so effective. They help IT professionals restore service and fix device-related problems without ever having to come into direct physical contact with the actual devices.

whitepaper Why Email Fails: Dell MessageOne Survey of Email Outages2008-07-21 Dell MessageOne
  While there is no argument that email is a mission-critical application for businesses today, email continues to fail, and fail frequently. Despite large enterprise investments in replication, mirroring, and tape back up systems, business have a 75% chance of losing email for a significant duration at least once a year. Many experience multiple email failures every year. While it is widely known that natural and man-made disasters can lead to email outages, data in this comprehensive study shows that email systems are more frequently brought down by a variety of technological and IT systems failures.

MessageOne, a leading provider of email continuity solutions, commissioned this research report to understand the frequency, severity, and cause of email outages in North American corporations using Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes. This research shows that enterprise email systems are prone to a variety of potential breakdowns including SAN (Storage Area Network) failures, mis-configuration, losses in network access, database corruption, and viruses. This research report analyzes the leading causes of failure with enterprise email systems and provides preventative guidance to lower the probability of unplanned email outages.

whitepaper Panic slowly. Integrated disaster response and built-in business continuity2006-09-01 IBM
  This paper offers insight to the CIO who is facing increased responsibility for the business and financial consequences of systems downtime. IBM's point of view paper helps CIOs and IT professionals assess their company's own preparedness, examine new approaches and technologies, and explore the business justification for investing in disaster preparedness and organizational resilience.

Integrated disaster response and built-in business continuity. A decade of regional calamities has shown that traditional approaches to disaster planning have failed to keep organizations operational. It's easy to be left behind--particularly if your infrastructure is not designed to support a resilient organization. In IBM's view, effective disaster planning can build an increased capacity for availability, recovery, backup and crisis response into the organization at all levels, from facilities to management and planning.
