On Alton Brown’s cooking show, he used to abhor a unitasker – a tool used for only one thing. They clutter the cabinets and are useful only in the rare instance that you need to slice an egg or store half an onion. Similarly, a unitasking product in tech is annoying. They clutter your IT […]
By Keith Taylor, Technology Evangelist at Zerto Your disaster recovery plan consists of more than just how you’re going to recover your systems and applications. All too often, it can be easy to overlook these seemingly less significant preparations as the focus tends to be on ensuring there is a solution, or combination of solutions, […]
By Joshua Stenhouse, Technology Evangelist at Zerto When using synchronous replication, a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of zero only applies to disk writes and only if the disaster requires recovery to the most recent point in time. An RPO of zero on disk writes does not capture any transactions in-flight such as those in the memory of […]
By Harry Smith, Technology Evangelist at Zerto DRaaS – Disaster Recovery as a Service – is a pretty well-known term in the industry now, but do you know how to get started leveraging it? Let’s discuss some of the common questions in regards to DRaaS, as well the differences between managed and public cloud options. […]
What Is DRaaS? Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is one deployment method for disaster recovery. It used to involve bringing a datacenter to you on the back of a large truck and uploading your data to it. Old-fashioned as that sounds, this cumbersome and time-consuming process was once the gold standard for disaster recovery […]
Data Everywhere Business continuity is an area of increasing complexity in the current multi-cloud IT paradigm. In the old days, we used backups to protect against ‘localized’, limited-impact data loss, like a single system crash, and small-scale data loss. On the other hand, disaster recovery is a set of plans and technical capabilities that help […]
