Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery
Just some of the benefits:
- Instant failover for users across different devices and/or locations.
- One-step near-line storage integration for replication and failover.
- Automated, policy-based setup and execution of business continuity processes.
- Thousands of users can be failed over in one automatic step.
- Simple, intuitive GUI makes business continuity planning and execution simple for administrators.
A reliable business continuity strategy typically involves frequent partial backups, less frequent complete backups, and a combination of onsite and offsite storage of the backup media. This can be a daunting task for a small business with one office, but for an enterprise with many branch offices and a highly distributed backup infrastructure, it can be a nightmare.
A global namespace-driven, disk-to-disk-based business continuity strategy greatly improves data availability, while dramatically reducing the cost of tape media and hardware. What's more, if data needs to be restored, having a centrally located repository of backed-up data minimizes downtime and improves Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs). This type of solution enables automatic data path failover, reducing downtime to seconds.

Breaking the Remote Office Tape Addiction
While tape excels as a backup medium, it also incurs substantial hardware and recurring media costs for each remote site, burdens IT administrators who must manage the process, and slows
disaster recovery due to the number of tapes that must be processed. Disk-based, centralized backup eliminates the tape hardware and media costs for each branch office—as well as the associated administrative burden. Data is simply copied across a WAN—using byte-level file differencing replication to minimize bandwidth consumption—and backed up to a convenient, central location.
Disaster recovery is equally streamlined. And IT personnel can monitor the process from a single GUI, freeing up time for more productive tasks.
The Brocade StorageX Advantage
The Brocade StorageX Global Namespace enables cost-effective failover across geographically distributed sites, while giving administrators a centralized way to manage the global failover process. Because administrators can manage storage on a logical, rather than a physical basis with a Global Namespace, the failover process can be completely transparent to users.
Your IT staff is tasked to implement the ultimate disaster recovery solution, one that ensures near-zero data loss and fast restoration of critical business services – from a remote location. You need to maximize data protection and recovery speed while minimizing storage costs and reducing impact to network performance. Where do you turn?
With Sandiy's disaster recovery solution, you can protect applications and data completely and transparently while improving operating efficiency and performance. The Sandiy solution sends data to the Sandiy Business Continuity Server located in the same rack or to a remote location using standard IP LAN or WAN infrastructure. Deploying the Sandiy Business Continuity Server at a secondary location gives you options in the event of a major outage. Restore applications almost instantly at the primary site with backup data recovered across the WAN. Or restore data easily to a standby server on the secondary site. Sandiy's combination of remote data protection and continuous availability technologies provides the ultimate solution for disaster recovery.
