The document discusses disaster recovery (DR) planning and testing using virtual DR solutions. It notes that downtime has significant economic costs, and that most enterprises prioritize improving DR capabilities. Traditional DR testing is static, focuses on backups, and has slow recovery times. Virtual DR solutions allow replicating workloads into virtual machines, enabling one-click failover and flexible testing. This reduces recovery times and costs while improving protection of workloads. The document promotes PlateSpin Protect and Forge solutions for virtual DR and workload protection across environments.

31. What do Customers Have to Say?

32. Nichols College “ Disaster recovery solutions can be very complex ... PlateSpin Forge is very straightforward. There’s just one piece of hardware to manage. It’s low maintenance, and has low overhead. Without it, we certainly would have spent more money on another disaster recovery solution that would have required more resources to support it.” Customer Results www.novell.com/success/nichols_college.html Reed Smith LLP "With PlateSpin Protect, we can recover multiple sites with the same set of hardware quite easily, in a matter of minutes." http://www.novell.com/success/reed_smith.html
