Data virtualisation 'aids in recovery'
Category: Data recovery
19 March, 2009
The virtualisation of data has helped the Indian government put in place more effective disaster recovery plans in the event of a data loss at the country's central IT infrastructure.Byte and Switch has reported that more than 100 agencies and over a dozen government departments use the country's mainframe IT system and being given access to all data across the system, if any one area goes down the information can be quickly recovered from another department.
"Virtualisation has enabled us to virtualise the specialised agency applications in a quarantined area of the system that blocks compatibility issues with the rest of the desktop image," commented Brian Arrowood, director of service operations at the Indiana Office of Technology.
Meanwhile, Karen Conneely, group commercial manager for Real Asset Management, recently wrote in an article for Continuity Central that accurate risk awareness is one of the key prerequisites to effective disaster recovery planning.
She noted that there is no excuse for businesses not to be fully aware of the dangers that face them.
