Infinidat is the industry’s only solution that can concurrently provide zero RPO (no data loss) at zero RTO (continuous operation without human intervention) in a metropolitan area. Not only does Infinidat have the most available storage system, it is also backed by a 100% availability guarantee with meaningful remedies and a portfolio of local and remote replication features.

What makes Infinidat a superior solution for data protection?

• When asynchronously replicating to a third (or fourth) site, with InfiniBox the RPO between the two systems at metro sites and the remote distance sites can be as low as single-digit seconds. This is not currently possible with alternative enterprise storage systems, whose minimum RPO will typically be measured in minutes due to multiple “delta sets” or much larger minimum cycle times.
• Although Pure Storage recently became the only major storage vendor besides Infinidat to offer a “near-zero” asynchronous replication solution, Pure’s new ActiveDR does not appear to be able to currently integrate with Pure’s ActiveCluster. Pure’s alternative legacy asynchronous replication feature can integrate with ActiveCluster, but it has a minimum cycle time of 5 minutes – providing for much greater data loss after recovery at the remote site than InfiniBox.

Backup and recovery need a radical rethink. When today’s incumbent solutions were designed more than a decade ago, IT environments were exploding, heterogeneity was increasing, and backup and recovery systems were viewed as the protection scheme of last resort. They were intended only to provide a low-cost insurance policy for data, so companies patched together backup and recovery solutions under a common vendor management framework and tried to minimize costs by spreading data across different infrastructure and media.

What has changed? For one, IT departments have moved toward private cloud models with virtualization and are looking for converged architectures to replace multitiered architectures. Second, because the amount of data under management has exploded, IT is challenged to do more with less. IT teams are now composed of fewer specialized roles, and more broad roles. Finally, public and hybrid clouds have opened up new data use cases such as analytics and test/dev, which create challenges for managing and securing that data.

Indeed, about the only thing that hasn’t changed is the need for backups to be reliable and restores to be fast and dependable. But how do you accomplish this when so much about your infrastructure has changed? At the same time, how do you innovate quickly to align with critical business objectives and drive growth?

Any IT professional reviewing existing backup and recovery system investment—or considering a new investment to meet new IT and business needs—should reconsider whether the old assumptions are still relevant or whether a new approach is warranted. In this guide, we discuss the evolving demands of backup and recovery and the emergence of Cloud Data Management, which provides opportunities for protecting data, capturing new value, and making data available whenever, wherever it is needed.
