5 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK

BEFORE SELECTING A BACKUP AND
DISASTER RECOVERY SOLUTION
How much and what kinds of data do we need to back up, and how quickly?
Determining the quantities and kinds of data you need to back up can help you to narrow your focus when looking at vendors, as
will pinning down how fast you need to move that data. Different kinds of data refers to types such as files, programs/applications
and entire operating systems, the former being easier to store and the latter two being more difficult. Be aware that there is often a
tradeoff between the quantity and complexity of the data you need to back up against the speed and ease with which that backup
can happen, but a good solution can help by reducing the tradeoff costs involved.
How much time and how many people are available to set up and operate any solution?
The resources available to your company include time and people, and figuring out what amounts of each are actually available
for implementing and operating a new backup and disaster recovery solution will be critical in establishing what your requirements
are for a solution’s technical specs, such as kinds and amount of automation, and support services.
How much and what kinds of support will we need?

Support can come in a lot of forms. You have good old fashioned technical support, support for backing up applications, support
of backing up operating systems, internal and external audit assistance, and assistance with disaster recovery, among others.
Pick out what you will need given your available resources so you know what to ask for and compare when talking with vendors.
What will our business need to backup in the future?

No business can remain static for long, and that includes yours. Therefore, as with any solution that you plan to keep for a while,
you have to plan for not just what you need and do now, but also what you plan to need and do in the foreseeable future. A good
place to start would be listing out the kinds of data, programs, and operating systems you know you will need to back up within the
lifetime of the solution, and then another list detailing those that are a possibility.
How much are we willing to pay?

The bottom line. Of course, the answer to this question can be more complicated than one might first assume. For example, even
if you don’t want to pay for fancy automation, you will still need to figure in the costs of the IT guy’s time and effort to do the job
manually. A complete accounting picture also needs to include the costs and risks associated with a disruptive event, which in
many cases can be fatal for a business. Will the “cheaper” solution really be cheaper if it can’t back up and then restore critical
types of data after a crash?
5 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR

POTENTIAL BACKUP AND DISASTER
RECOVERY SOLUTION PROVIDER
Performance?
The performance of any BUDR solution goes way beyond speed of data transfer and data durability (how often the data that gets
backed up gets corrupted). You should evaluate ease of use, how protected physical backup sites are from various threats, and
the types of data and devices the solution can handle. Those last three points should include both now and the rest of the time you
plan on having the solution in place. There are many additional features that can fall into the category of performance, and a good
way to measure them would be to find out how they improve the speed and accuracy of data transmission and disaster recovery.
How scalable is your solution?

As your business grows, so does the need for your enterprise back up and disaster recovery solution to keep up. How easy will it
be for the potential solution to keep up with you as you scale? Details can include additional licenses, increased functionality, and
any limits on the amount of data that the solution can handle.
What is the total cost of ownership?

Many companies that offer back up and disaster recovery solutions play pricing games. While one solution may headline a cheaper
cost per gigabit of storage, make sure to read into the fine print to make sure they’re not charging you in other ways to make up
the difference and then some. Total cost of ownership also means looking at the resources your company has to expend to run
the solution, so take that into account as well. Finally, a “cheaper” solution that leaves you more vulnerable to an event may not be
cheaper in the long run.
What kinds of support are offered as part of the package?

This question allows you to match up your previously identified support needs with what each potential solution offers. See who
matches up best with your needs for the best price, and you will be one step closer to choosing a winning back up and disaster
recovery solution.
How do you approach Data Security?

Data Security is no joke, as Sony employees can tell you as a result of the company’s data breach in late 2014. Make sure to ask
how and where data is encrypted, and avoid companies that don’t encrypt data on their own servers, or give many of their own
employees access to the encryption key if they do encrypt. The best providers will offer end-to-end encryption while adopting data
security best practices to ensure that any breaches that do occur are dealt with swiftly and before much damage can be inflicted.

The Actifio Copy Data Storage System is based on patented virtual data Contact Info
pipeline technology that virtualizes storage and data management
functions to operate at a high scale and efficiency. Actifio enables a “data 333 Wyman Street
time machine” for the enterprise, eliminating backup and restore windows
and creating virtual, point-in-time copies of data on demand, for use by any
Waltham, MA 02451
business application. Instant data recovery means no delays in restoring United States
data for any use. And it all is enabled through a simple consumer grade +1 (781) 790-7500
interface that is SLA-driven and application centric in applying data
protection. Actifio’s differentiated features in backup and recovery deliver
www.actifio.com
functionality that can speed backup modernization, improve recovery point
(RPO) and recovery time (RTO) service levels and apply granular protection
at the application level and at the VM level.
Key Features
Fine Tuned Service Levels – Built around the SLA Architect, the SLA (service level agreement) describes how
frequently data is ingested, how long that data is retained in an instantly available snapshot pool, when that data is moved
to a deduplicated and compressed pool, and how and when that data is replicated to a remote location. These SLAs can be
applied to any discovered application, delivering automated lifecycle data management.
Remote Data Protection – At set intervals, based on SLA, change blocks are asynchronously replicated. The SLA may
also specify for the data to be rehydrated into the remote instant access snapshot pool to become available for immediate use.
Since Dedup Async only replicates change blocks, it only uses a fraction of bandwidth most other replication technologies do.
This enables remote site data protection for a broad set of applications.
Supports Most Environments and Operating Systems – Works across physical and virtual environments and
supports a broad range of operating systems, storage systems and application environments. Actifio also has tailored deep
integration for many application APIs including VMware, Oracle and major Microsoft applications.
Streamlines IT Infrastructure and Operations – Actifio decouples data management from storage, network and
server infrastructure. It enables new thinking about data protection as well as data management. By virtualizing copy data,
creating a single “gold copy” for instant access, IT infrastructure and operations are streamlined.
Bottom Line
Even though they are a small private company, the fact that Actifio’s architecture removes backup windows is huge
when it comes to improving RPO and RTO. Significant savings have been reported because of the elimination of
competitive products and reduced storage acquisition, but they currently do not have a master catalog and single
files or object resources are only supported for Windows file system, Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint.
