BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND HIGH AVAILABILITY

Business continuity is the capability of a business to withstand outages and to operate important services normally and without interruption in accordance with predefined service-level agreements. To achieve a given level of business continuity that you want, a collection of services, software, hardware, and procedures must be selected, described in a documented plan, implemented, and practiced regularly. The business continuity solution must address the data, the operational environment, the applications, the application hosting environment, and the end-user interface. All must be available to deliver a good, complete business continuity solution.

Business continuity includes disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA), and can be defined as the ability to withstand all outages (planned, unplanned, and disasters) and to provide continuous processing for all important applications. The ultimate goal is for the outage time to be less than .001% of total service time. A high availability environment typically includes more demanding recovery time objectives (seconds to minutes) and more demanding recovery point objectives (zero user disruption) than a disaster recovery scenario.

High availability solutions provide fully automated failover to a backup system so that users and applications can continue working without disruption. HA solutions must have the ability to provide an immediate recovery point. At the same time, they must provide a recovery time capability that is significantly better than the recovery time that you experience in a non-HA solution topology.

  • SITE Recovery Manager:

It is the industry-leading solution to enable application availability and mobility across sites in private cloud environments.

  • Fast and Reliable IT Disaster Recovery: Perform frequent non-disruptive testing to ensure IT disaster recovery predictability and compliance and achieve fast and reliable recovery using fully automated workflows and complementary Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) solutions.
  • Zero-Downtime Application Mobility: Move live virtual machines at scale between sites over metro distances by using disaster recovery plans to orchestrate various cloud platform operations, avoiding downtime altogether.
  • Simple and Policy-Based Management: Protect thousands of virtual machines with ease using centralized recovery plans managed from the cloud infrastructure’s web client and use policy-driven automation and the Software Defined Data Center SDDC architecture to simplify ongoing management.
  • Up to 50% Lower TCO: Lower the total cost of ownership of disaster recovery by up to 50 percent by decreasing operational expenses through automation and reducing capital investment using Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) technology
  • Automated Recovery

Your environment can be protected by automating the replication of the virtual machines based on policies that you set and control. Site Recovery services can protect Hyper-V, VMware and physical servers, and you can use cloud or your secondary datacenter as your recovery site. Site Recovery coordinates and manages the ongoing replication of data by integrating with existing technologies including System Center and SQL Server AlwaysOn.

  • Orchestrated Disaster Recovery

Orchestrated Disaster Recovery services helps automate the orderly recovery of services in the event of a site outage at the primary datacenter. Applications can be brought up in an orchestrated fashion to help restore service quickly, even for complex multi-tier workloads. Recovery plans are simple to create through the cloud portals, where they are stored.

  • Replication

Replicating your workloads to cloud enables new capabilities. Applications can be migrated to cloud with just a few clicks, or burst to cloud temporarily when you encounter a surge in demand. Run reports and analytics on copies of production workloads in cloud without impacting users.

  • Continuous health monitoring

Our Service monitors the state of your protected instances continuously and remotely from cloud. When replicating between two sites you control, your virtual machines’ data and replication remains on your networks. All communication within the cloud is encrypted.

 

  • Cluster server

 

These servers are powered by Veritas and keeps your most important applications running 24×7 with no manual intervention and automates your disaster recovery plans with predictable results and efficiency. Cluster Server provides a foolproof solution for detecting risks to application availability and automates the recovery of applications for high availability and disaster recovery.

  • Automates failover of critical business services including databases and applications within a data center or to multiple remote data centers.
  • Dynamically determines application or virtual machine failover target with AdaptiveHA based on forecasted available capacity at target system.
  • Supports heterogeneous physical and virtual operating system platforms with out-of-the-box solutions for all major enterprise applications including leading database, application, and storage vendors.
  • Leverages the comprehensive management platform provided by Veritas Operations Manager to allow administrators to monitor, manage and report on multiple clusters on different platforms from a single web-based consoles
  • Integration with Virtual Business Services (VBS), provides orchestrated and automated recovery for applications composed of multiple components running on different physical and virtual tiers, adding resilience to business services.
  • Failover applications without a VM reboot to standby healthy virtual machines, for fast application recovery from any failure without impacting VMware features such as VMware vMotion and Distributed Resources Scheduler (DRS).
  • Intelligent Monitoring Framework feature enables faster detection of faults with asynchronous monitoring. Failures can be detected instantaneously instead of waiting for a non-response from a faulted resources
  • Provides comprehensive disaster recovery testing with no impact to in-product applications.
  • Ensure cluster upgrades do not impact application availability. Cluster Server software can be upgraded without bringing production applications offline.
  • Backup solutions
    • Cost effective: Manually backing up your data say, every day, is not a cost effective process. These hours could be much better invested elsewhere in the business. Our Automated Solutions aim at saving you a lot more time, and thus money, in the long run. Our cost effective methodology and easy to manage solutions will minimize the risk to your data.
    • Convenient: Have you ever forgotten to run your backup system? Or is it becoming too much of a hassle to keep doing it every day? With TDS Solutions automated backup Solution you can schedule the time you want it to run and how often – it’ll just do it. It’s convenient and timely
    • Maintains security: Our Backup Solutions provide multilayer security to your data and keep it safe in the repository. With additional encryption methods, data security drives our paramount motive in backing your data

Provides reports: TDS Solutions is automated backup system will be set up to provide you with reports on the system to make it easier to maintain. For example, you could get a daily email to let you know that the backup was successful, what data has been altered since the last backup and how much space is left on the storage drive. That way you can keep your eye on the process, even though you’re not carrying it out manually
