Deliver Improved Business Continuity Your Customers Need and Understand

Business continuity is the ability to keep your customer’s daily operations running—even in the midst of a natural, man-made or technical disaster. It isn’t just about data backup. It’s a holistic approach that addresses ready access to backups and timely restorations—and all of the potential obstacles that might be encountered in the process.

The costs and consequences of downtime are generally measured in two ways:

• Recovery Time Objective (RTO): How much time your customer can afford to lose
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO): How much data your customer can afford to lose

In order to be effective, your business continuity plan must establish an acceptable RTO and RPO for your customer, and engage a backup and recovery solution that can achieve both in the event of a disaster or outage.
