This portfolio of Engenio solutions ensures dynamic data protection and processes for recovering from an unplanned system interruption. The reality facing all organizations today is that unplanned system interruptions happen. And when they do, the impact to your business can be severe. According to recent statistics from the Disaster Recovery Journal and Contingency Planning Research:

• Systems fail an average of nine times per year, with an average of four hours downtime per failure.
• The average company's hourly downtime cost per outage is $330,000.
• Downtime costs U.S. businesses $4 billion per year in lost revenue.
• The average organization requires four to 48 hours to recover from a major system outage.
• Sixty percent of companies that are not operating within three days fail.
• After a major failure, 43 percent of U.S. businesses never re-open and another 29 percent close within two years.

Clearly, creating a business continuance plan with specific disaster recovery processes may be the most important requirement for a business today.

Moreover, these plans need to take into consideration the fact that data has different levels of importance within a company. And just as data has different levels of importance (and is assigned different recovery time and recovery point objectives), Engenio provides dynamic data protection solutions to meet these objectives

• Ensure data protection by delivering copies of data off-site and out of metro area, or locally within metro area
• Provide process for recovery of data and applications
• Dynamically change from asynchronous to synchronous replication as application needs dictate
• Streamline server backups into one remote tape backup system for maximum cost-efficiencies and protection
• Maximize current data protection investments by reusing some existing storage devices in secondary site
• Dynamically change data replication policies based on changes in application(s) and/or interruptions
• Minimize staff required to manage backup operations, deploy for revenue producing opportunities
• Take advantage of synchronous and asynchronous mirroring along with other copy functions such as snapshot and volume Copy to achieve a solid business continuance strategy
• Dynamically start-stop mirroring process in case of planned or unplanned interruption (suspend /resume)
