Disaster recovery is ever-present in the minds of data center leaders, and it should be. While not all data centers are bombarded with daily DDOS and ransomware attacks, the reality remains that no company is immune to threat. Backup and recovery can provide some protection for these cases, but the restore process is often long and tedious and necessitates collaboration between individuals across an organization, like Backup and Virtualization Administrators, DBA’s, and IT leadership. It could even require recovering data from tapes locked away offsite or in cloud locations, commanding time and money.
This is where organizations need to go beyond basic backup and recovery. With Veritas, organizations can automate the recovery of physical, virtual, and cloud-based infrastructures, with a focus on the Application or OS (physical or virtual) layers. Veritas has a platform to distribute architecture for disaster recovery with the ability to independently scale specific components when necessary—regardless of whether the data resides on-premises or in the cloud.
