Need an Answer to Handle Complicated Backup and Recovery Challenges? Try an Xtreme Data Makeover

By Peter Eicher


Makeovers are popular nowadays. There are makeovers for homes, faces, bodies, hairstyles, skin, muffins, websites, buildings, even horses.

(Yes, horses - extrememustangmakeover dot com has all the bronco busting info.)

So with everyone and everything as fair game for a makeover, what about data? The data backup and recovery process can be a big, chaotic nightmare, and with data growth exploding every day at organizations of all sizes, there must be a better, less costly, and more efficient way to keep it all safe and accessible.

Consider the challenges:

- Virtualization is making problems, including long backup times, network bottlenecks, and virtual machine contention.
- The rise in data is causing accompanying cost increases for disk acquisition, power, cooling, and data center floor space.
- The rate of success of most back-ups can be significantly lower than 100%.
- Recovery time can be vast, and recovery options can be few.
- Administration can be complex and costly.

We're not talking one or two split ends, pimples, or fashion fumbles here, folks: these are potential disasters-in-waiting that can threaten careers, obliterate balance sheets, and destroy companies. According to The Boston Computing Network:

- 34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape back-up failures.
- 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
- 93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster.
- 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy immediately.

Help , however , is available, via an Xtreme Data Makeover. It's an honest exam, blemishes-and-all re-evaluation, and strategic overhaul of current practices that will eliminate glitches and deliver significant technical, operational, and cost savings benefits.

The downside of an Xtreme Data Makeover is non-existent, the advantages are tremendous, and it looks fabulous!
