According to Gartner…
Two out of five enterprises that experience a disaster will go out of business within five years. While 85% of Global 2000 enterprises have a disaster recovery plan covering core technology and infrastructure, only 15% have a full-fledged business continuity plan.

Business ContinuityStrategies
Begin with a Business Impact Assessment
Objective– To clearly and impartially demonstrate the bottom
line impact of systems and other disruptions on specific functional areas within your enterprise
Goals– To quantify the level of Business Continuity Planning
needed to ensure rapid restoration of key business processes and resumption of technology based operations in the event of a disruption.
– To meet the requirements set forth by customers, suppliers and employees
Why is the Business Impact Assessment Important
Which processes and functions are critical, necessary, or optional for business survival
In what order and how fast these functions need to be recovered
What the interdependencies of these functions are
What the financial exposures are
The impact on revenue, investor confidence, customer service, goodwill, competitive edge, market share, etc. if critical functions can’t be performed

Integrated Services for Recovery and Access (Users)
Novell iFolder™
“We needed a central point of storage for local files, something other than a normal ‘Home Directory’ that would be available should another disaster occur. We needed something that would ‘back up’ the user's local data automatically because they will never do it themselves. iFolder to the rescue! We have our pilot group syncing their files to a server off-site automatically. It takes no time at all seeing that iFolder only writes the delta rather than
the whole darn file like some ‘other’ similar products.” Steven Beyer, Consultant PC/LAN Support Securities Industry Automation Corporation
Where is your corporate data?
Gartner Group, IDC, and Meta Group state that up to 80% of a company’s business critical data resides on PCs (Desktops & Laptops)
Up to 96% of all business PCs are not being backed up (Strategic Research Corporation )
According to IDC, the mobile work force in the U.S., Western Europe and Latin America is expected to grow from 34.7 million in 2001 to 60.8 million in 2004.
35% of PCs sold into business organizations are laptops (IDC)
What the analysts are saying
According to John Girard, a vice president and research director at Gartner, "Enterprises can realize substantial support savings and productivity gains by selecting appropriate remote backup and restore tools for their nomadic users. Avoiding just a few disasters may justify the entire value of the investment."
Problems of Data Availability
•Your data is everywhere and yet, frequently not where you need it
•Your data is difficult to access from the Internet
•If your computer experiences a system crash or is stolen, your data is lost – no disaster recovery
•You don’t dare store sensitive data on the network•You don’t want to change
the way you access your data

What the Organization Needs
• Critical corporate data on laptops and desktops needs to be backed up to the network automatically
• Local files should be safe when they are sent to the server and should remain secure on the network – encryption should be automatic
• Anywhere file access that increases the productivity of all users
• Ability to consolidate the storage and simplify the management associated with network “home directories”

“A recent unexpected incident meant wewere off line for 32 minutes. After the initial period of fault diagnosis, it took only two minutes to bring the cluster back online. Previously, this would have taken almost three hours. This single event represents a productivity improvement of $77,000.”
