This document discusses the need for disaster recovery plans and how virtualization can help update those plans. It notes that downtime from disasters costs businesses billions each year. Virtualization allows businesses to consolidate their recovery solutions by replicating workloads into offline virtual machines that can be failed over with one click for fast recovery. The document promotes PlateSpin Protect and PlateSpin Forge products which allow backups to virtual machines and virtual disaster recovery hardware. It provides examples of how these products provided cost savings and recovery benefits to customers.

36. Customer Successes 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.” http://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
