How One Company Used Virtualization to Lower the Cost of Disaster Recovery
Vincent Biddlecombe, CTO of Transplace, explains how his company used virtualization in a four-step disaster recovery plan. The process offers a simple way to recover operations fast and at a relatively lower cost than traditional disaster recovery systems.
Enterprises should take a good look at compression technologies. With all of the data that needs to be copied to the disaster recovery site all day long, it's important to reduce the amount of bandwidth you require so that your network runs efficiently.
Looking back on the disaster recovery plan we started in 2007, we feel we have achieved the ultimate balance: a simple way to recover operations fast—but at a relatively lower cost than traditional disaster recovery systems. Without a doubt, virtualization played a vital role in helping us achieve this mission.
Vincent Biddlecombe is the CTO of Transplace. He has more than 15 years of experience in IT consulting with an emphasis on transportation management systems.
