The success of your business depends on the availability of your applications, networks, and data. To thrive in today's competitive market, information must flow freely to wherever it is needed in the company, whenever it is needed. If your profit depends on real-time online processing systems, then you are vulnerable to a profound negative impact should a catastrophe cripple your data center. A catastrophe could be as dramatic as an earthquake or a hurricane, or as mundane as a power failure, water main break, or loss of a network or storage adapter. But whatever the cause, every minute of downtime could cost you lost revenue, lost opportunity, and even customer loyalty.
You must be able to respond quickly to restore essential services when a disaster strikes. Maintaining backup tapes at another site is not enough. You face an unknown amount of downtime before you can reestablish service, and chances are that the data you restore is already out of date. Meanwhile, your employees are idle, your customers worry, and you lose business. What you need is a solution that ensures that critical data and applications remain available, no matter what.
