Enterprise Strategy Group Publishes Market Landscape Report on ...

The report expounds on the essential role of replication technologies

Milford, MA?September 13, 2011 ?The Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), a leading IT industry analyst and consulting firm, today announced the release of its new market landscape report, Replication Technologies for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Written by ESG senior analyst David A. Chapa, the report provides an overview of business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) trends and market structure, the components of BC/DR plans, and tips on purchase considerations.

Disasters or any other type of business interruption?and the havoc they may potentially impart to businesses?are mitigated by solid plans. According to ESG research, improving disaster recovery capabilities leads as a key investment area for IT organizations. While backup and recovery is the lynchpin technology for enabling BC/DR for many, replication technologies?especially those that support system- or virtual-level replication?may be the better, more secure option for most organizations.

?Replication technologies will aid in complementing existing on premises file-based backup solutions, allowing IT to take a more holistic approach to data protection versus attempting to apply one type of solution to all types of problems,? comments ESG senior analyst, David A. Chapa. ?Selecting the right technologies to meet goals, initiatives, and objectives for the data or systems to be protected is paramount in building the best IT investment portfolio, and saving IT valuable time, resources, and, of course, money.?

Server virtualization also plays a key role in BC/DR, allowing IT organizations to increase overall efficiencies and maintain the flow and speed of business in the event of a disaster. The fact that 61% of companies polled by ESG state that they are currently using server virtualization, and another 30% have server virtualization on their horizon, is likely influenced by server virtualization?s role in enabling cost-efficiency in BC/DR.
