Business Continuity

Surveys indicate that every year, 1 in 500 data-centers experience a severe disaster and over 60% incur significant financial damage from systems failures.

Implementing plans to ensure business continuity, or BC for short, for key IT services is an essential requirement for organisations today. Downtime of important applications is a costly proposition and extended downtime can even be fatal—industry research finds that a significant number of companies that experience extended interruption to IT services soon go out of business. While most organisations recognise the importance of BC, their ability to provide high availability and disaster recovery for key applications is often constrained by the following challenges:

High costs of business continuity solutions
High complexity
Failure to meet recovery time and availability goals
Insufficient reliability

These challenges have limited the ability of organisations to implement effective BC plans. As a result, key IT services lack the protection they need, putting organisations at significant risk. VMware provides cost-effective, simpler, more reliable solutions for increasing availability and improving disaster recovery so that organisations can implement dramatically better and broader BC plans.
