Traditional backup is broken.
Here’s why you should move to a hybrid cloud solution.
Can you quantify how much every minute of downtime can
cost your organization?
Did you know that 1 in 5 recoveries aren’t meeting the expectations of its business stakeholders?
“Nearly one-fourth of IT professionals have an RTO of 15 minutes or less, while 62% have an RTO of 3 hours or less.”

“High Priority” Applications
“Normal” production workloads
Downtime Tolerance, based on RTOs
So, how can you be sure to meet your RTO?
Legacy solutions make it challenging.

Legacy solutions make it challenging.
Your objective is to build a system that provides recovery capabilities such as snapshots, replications, instant failover, and more, right?

Consider this analogy.

“Replacing an apple with an apple, or in this case a backup solution with another backup solution, doesn’t necessarily resolve the root problem of tight SLA’s or faster recovery rates…”
“Try something new, and replace your current apple with an orange. Or why not add an entire fruit salad in order to
have different solutions for different workloads.”
- ESG
What does this mean?
With different workloads, you’ll need different types of
protection. Consider the following:
Local recovery – so an onsite asset will always be part of the deal.
Cloud – look to the cloud as a platform: this can be a place to failover for DR and BC related reasons.

The cloud provides organizations of all sizes with a secondary site for business continuity and disaster recovery. Think of this as a data center “on demand.”
BUT, setting up a solution like this may require additional set-up and managing bandwidth.
“Instead, look at a vendor that provides a hybrid solution.”
- ESG
Okay…but how will that help?
A consolidated hybrid solution will ultimately reduce your total
cost of ownership.
So…what are some of the benefits of a hybrid solution?
Leverages the cloud for data protection and it’s cost effective

You’re able to spin up your entire office in the cloud in case of a disaster.

It will also provide granular application recovery and local
server failover.
Hybrid Data Protection is a different way to truly ensure that your data and services are accessible and your employees remain productive.
