This document discusses disaster recovery challenges faced by organizations with heterogeneous IT infrastructures and proposes virtual disaster recovery solutions from NetIQ to address these challenges. It notes the economic costs of downtime, growing priority placed on improving disaster recovery capabilities. Traditional DR options like tape backup and mirrored replication are criticized as expensive and complex. NetIQ's PlateSpin Protect and PlateSpin Forge are presented as virtual DR solutions that can consolidate recovery across platforms, reduce costs, simplify testing and enable one-click failover and failback. Customer examples citing benefits of PlateSpin solutions are provided.

38. Real Results 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 30
