Considerations when selecting a hosting solution

One site or two?

• Site redundant, Grid Redundant,

Geo-redundant

Location

• Accessible by car, or flight required?
• Ex: Ashburn, VA may be attractive DR

to NY Metro since drive time <4 hours

Economics

• Scale, Budget, Schedule, Staffing Cyrus

One n

Point of Recovery (POR) aka Recovery Point Objective

• How much data can a customer stand to lose (in minutes, hours or days?)

Time to Recover (TTR) aka Recovery Time Objective

• How long can it take before a customer is processing data at an alternate DR

site?

13

Sample Scenario: Regional Bank with Phili HQ

What would you recommend and why?

• Services Required?
• One site or two?
• Location?
• Implementation?

Point of Recovery (POR) aka Recovery Point Objective

• Minutes on banking data, hours on internal data

Time to Recover (TTR) aka Recovery Time Objective

• <5 min on customer transactions, 1 business day on internal functions

14

DRT Takeaways: Hurricane Sandy

• 1. Spare towels are just as important as hot showers!
• 2. A robust gasoline and diesel fuel supply chain is essential
• 3. Staff up to avoid fatigue (may need to flex locations and

schedule)

• 4. Simplicity + Standards = Uptime
• 5. The ultimate in redundancy is diversity (distance)
