Data Backup Analysis

With the ever growing volumes of data being stored within data centres, the need for a robust and fully functional data backup & recovery solution has never been more apparent. While your current backup solution might have been perfect for your needs a few years ago, how is it coping today? Do you suffer from ever-increasing backup windows, media costs and lengthy recovery times? Regardless of whether you use your data backup & recovery system to provide peace of mind in the event of accidental data deletion or for full-blown disaster recovery purposes - an independent review of your current solution is a solid investment.

What is the Data Backup Assessment?

Origina's data backup assessment is not vendor specific, and is an independent review of your backup solution and protection policies. Your entire backup methodology is mapped out identifying how data is being backed up, the defined data protection policies in effect and whether or not these meet with your business requirements. The backup solution is reviewed from the top down looking at your server footprint, networking infrastructure and data volumes. This allows our consultants to determine the success rate of schedule backup jobs, identification of data that is not being sufficiently protected and efficiencies that can be introduced into the solution.

Who is it designed for?

• Any organisation that uses a data backup & data recovery solution to protect critical business data
• Organisations who need to ensure that they comply with regulatory requirements (incl. encryption)
• Organisations looking to upgrade their current backup & recovery solution with newer DeDupe and VTL technology
• Organisations that find it operationally intensive to manage their current backup & recovery solution
• Organisations that are concerned that their current solution creates an exposure for their business
• Organisations that have not been able to successfully recover data from their backup solution
• Organisations who cannot meet their stated DR SLAs

What are the benefits?

The data backup assessment delivers the following benefits:

• Ensures that the appropriate policies are in place to mitigate risk of data loss
• Identification of data and/or orphaned backup clients that are not being protected in your environment.
• Reduced operational management
