6. The State of Disaster Recovery
Ø Disaster recovery is a key
business need
Ø Almost half of respondents
in a recent survey indicate
that they do not have a
solution that would allow
recovery in the event of a
natural disaster
Yes
52%
No
48%
Do you have a failover solution that can protect your
organization from a disaster such as a hurricane,
tornado, or other event that results in the loss of a data
center? (N=348)
7. The cost of an outage averages $20,000
per hour
-- IDC Research
8. Today’s Disaster Recovery Challenge
Ø IT Organizations are too busy
Ø DR is at the bottom of the list (in time and funding)
Ø If we have DR, we built it using 5-10 year old technology
Ø Infrastructure and apps are changing faster than the DR
plan can adapt to
Ø If there is any budget for DR, you must maximize TCO
Ø IT Orgs need a solution that makes DR easy
9. What is Cloud-Based DR?
u Critical data is replicated offsite to a secure
public cloud
u Virtual machines (and associated apps/data) can
be powered on for testing at any time
u In the event of a disaster, virtual machines (and
associated apps/data) can be powered up, almost
instantaneously
10. What are the Costs Associated with Cloud-Based DR?
You pay to:
u Store your replicated data
u Power virtual machines for testing or recovery
You don’t pay to:
u Build or outfit a secondary datacenter
u Buy servers, storage and networking
u Maintain and administer a secondary datacenter
11. Comparing Costs: Traditional DR vs. Cloud-Based DR
Traditional DR (secondary site):
u DC Infrastructure– racks, UPS, power,
cooling, WAN/Internet
u Servers, storage, network gear
u OS and other licenses
u Replication / failovertool
u Maintenancecontracts
u Ongoing electricity for power and cooling
u Administration – upgrades, etc
Cloud-Based DR:
u Replication / failovertool
u Storage of data / usage
u DR testing usage
u Recover usage
12. Comparing Costs: Traditional DR vs. Cloud-Based DR
To compare the cost between
traditional DR and cloud-
based DR, you’ll need to
know:
u Number of hosts / VMs
u Size of the data
u Rate of change of the data
u RPO / RTO
These can be
tough to calculate
on your own…

14. According to CloudEndure’s 2016 Disaster Recovery Survey,
the biggest challenges are:
Insufficient IT resources
Budget limitations
Lack of in-house expertise
Disaster Recovery Practices & Trends
Insufficient IT resources • 19%
Budget Limitations • 17%
Lack of In-house expertise • 16%
Keeping up with the pace of change/growth • 14%
Limit on our ability to prevent software bugs • 11%
Cloud resource capacity •9%
Limit on our ability to prevent configuration errors •8%
Coping with peak demand • 7%

15. But, why not?
Just ask Delta Airlines - A mere 5-hour outage in August 2016
cost them over $150 million.
Organizations today understand the critical need to recover fast
from IT outages, application failures, malicious attacks to:
• Ensure resilience
• Stay competitive
• Avoid regulatory risks
• Keep customers happy
• Maintain reputation
Disaster Recovery: No Longer “Nice-to-Have”
16. So, What’s the Problem?
“Why don’t all enterprises have air-tight,
100% reliable business continuity disaster
recovery strategies in place?”
“Can’t IT departments simply set up multiple
data centers that continually replicate
workloads and when a disaster strikes, just
redirect to the DR site?”
17. 3 Disaster Recovery Strategies
To answer these questions, let’s first examine the three main
DR strategies currently used by enterprises, while focusing on the
expected costs of each:
On-Premise Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery
18. On-Premises Disaster Recovery
Enterprises have traditionally handled IT disasters internally,
but to keep an on-premise disaster recovery solution up-to-date requires
a large investment:
DR Infrastructure & Services: IT resiliency solution requires duplicate
infrastructure to restore entire systems to previous state,
incurring capital expenditures & operating expenses.
Software Licenses: Duplicate third-party software licenses required,
plus application or DR-specific replication software.
Management Monitoring: IT staff resources necessary to manage & monitor
DR software & infrastructure.
19. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Due to high costs and the expertise needed to implement on-premise DR,
many turn to third-party DRaaS providers for failover support in case of disaster:
DR Infrastructure & Services: Normally more cost effective than
on-premise DR, but very costly compared to the economies
of scale of a cloud provider
Software Licenses: May still need to duplicate licenses for applications so they’re
available quickly during disaster.
Management Monitoring: No need to pay additional on-premise IT staff, but must pay
DRaaS provider. (Costs differ by vendor.)
20. Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery
The revolution in disaster recovery began a few years ago with the advancement of
cloud technology and the pay-as-you-go approach of public clouds.
DR Infrastructure & Services: Keeps an organization’s data in real-time sync using
lightweight compute and storage without duplicate hardware needed, until you actually
need it.
Software Licenses: No need to purchase duplicate software licenses for your standby DR
site.
Management Monitoring: Automation for DR, so fewer IT resources required to launch
or maintain DR solution.

22. Is the Cheaper Option Necessarily the Better One?
The Answer = It Depends
Technologyforcloud-based DR can vary greatly from one
vendorto another
Somecannot guarantee data consistency or supportall of
yourapplications
Others may impact yourserver performance or deliver
inadequateRPO or RTO
The right DR technology should enableyou to achieve the
enterprise-grade resilience and performanceof on-
premise and DRaaS solutions, butwith the dramaticcost
reduction of the cloud.
23. Additional Benefits of Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery
When using the most advanced technology, Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery provides
additional benefits, including:
Easy Testability -- Quickly spin up machines for your periodic DR drills without disrupting
your source environment.
Self-Service DR -- Configure your cloud environment, replicate your servers, and perform
your DR drills whenever you want. Deployment is easy, and access to cloud resources is
instantaneous.
Flexibility Between Infrastructures -- Protect physical, virtual, or cloud-based machines.
Use public cloud of your choice & easily move to a different cloud provider if desired.
