HP 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. They then created a disaster that rendered the primary site immediately useless in order to show the effectiveness of the HP solution. This ESG paper provides views of the current business continuity market as well as thoughts on HP's role in the market.
ESG has found that there is an increase in the number of companies and organizations requiring 24 x 365 days of IT uptime. IN fact, ESG research indicates that 36% of enterprises indicating they will incur significant revenue loss of other adverse business impact if they have even an hour or less of downtime on their mission-critical applications. Almost 15% indicate they cannot tolerate any downtime. In the past, this type of business demand was only consigned to a relatively small group. However, many more organizations of all sizes, in all industries and located across the globe, now require applications to be running and data to be always available. The needs of these organizations go far beyond simply recovery, requiring an environment that maintains business continuity during and immediately after a disaster. To make it more interesting, the number and types of applications that require this level of protection is very diverse.
