Disaster Recovery is an expensive proposition. But since the consequences of not being prepared for a disaster are so severe, it is an expense that organizations make. But that’s not to say organizations are not always looking for way to do DR better, faster and for less money. In this live webinar join Storage Switzerland and ClearSky to learn how organizations can lower the cost of DR preparation and execution.

1. How to Cut Disaster Recovery Expenses

4 steps for more affordable, effective DR
Join us as we explain:
● Why You Need More than Just DRaaS
● How to Cut Secondary Storage Costs
● How to Cut Backup Storage Costs

4. • No Need to buy/lease unused compute
• Ongoing costs mainly from the storage
• Anyone can have a hotsite
DRaaS Is The New Way To Do DR

5. • When it comes to DR, the same challenges
inherent to public cloud apply
• Unpredictable latency, unpredictable costs
• Copies in the cloud used only for DR
• Companies create other copies for
test/dev/analytics
• They do this for performance reasons -
latency is still a challenge
• But then end up paying for multiple copies
Why You Need More Than Just DRaaS

6. • What if one copy served
multiple purposes?
• Store one copy of all data
• Pay for only one copy of all
data
• Copy includes multiple
versions via snapshots
How To Cut Secondary Storage Costs
DR

7. • Read-only snapshots for restores
• Read-write snapshots for DRaaS
• Read-write snapshots for test
• Read-write snapshots for
development
• Read-write snapshots for data
analytics
Use Cases For Snapshots

8. • Yes, but in the cloud
• What about performance?
• There’s the rub
That’s Copy Data Management, Right?

9. • What if…
• You had a performant cloud copy
• It was close enough for good
performance
• It was also copied far enough for
good DR
• You only paid for one copy
How To Cut Secondary Storage Costs

10. • You could use close copy
for DR
• Returning from DR is
therefore much faster
• You don’t pay for that copy
How To Lower Return From DR Time and
Costs

11. • DRaaS is good but it could be better
• DRaaS needs copy data support
• But we need local copy performance
• If we don’t pay for two (or ten) copies,
all is good!
