Disaster Recovery White Papers
Recipe for Disaster Recovery: After 9/11, Disaster Recovery Became Top Priority for Enterprises Right Around the Time SANs and SSPs Came Into Vogue; So Why Do the Majority of Enterprise DR Strategies Still Rely on Back-Up Tapes and Sneakernet?
Overview Storage technologies had been rapidly advancing with the rise of Storage Area Networks (SANs) and SAN switches, broadening options for disaster recovery plans - link storage servers in different cities together across the network, with automatic back-up of data in real time at different sites, and the company can be up and running again in no time even if one site is destroyed in a catastrophic event. Don't have the expertise to set up a multi-site SAN? Call up the local Storage Service Provider (SSP) or data center operator - they can set it up for a monthly fee. That, at least, was the idea before the 9/11 attacks. However, for the majority of businesses, the disaster recovery paradigm hasn't advanced very far.
