Today, companies face new demands from end users, including access to data and applications 24 /7, zero tolerance for downtime or data loss and exponential data growth on the order of 30-50% per year. Specifically, CIOs report that companies are increasing their requirements to minimize downtime and ensure access to data.
As these availability requirements are increasing, businesses are looking to adopt Always-On™ approach, but many are settling for traditional backup solutions that continue to face shortcomings such as:
- Lengths RTOs and RPOs of hours and even days respectively – too long for the Always-On Business™ approach.
- Less than 6% of backups tested each quarter.
- More than 16% of backups failing recovery.
- 59% of application patches or updates resulting in longer than expected downtime.
- Limited visibility to detect problems before they occur an operational impact.
This opens a gap—an “availability gap”—between the requirements of the Always-On Business approach and IT's ability to effectively deliver said availability. In fact, 82% of CIOs say there is a gap between the level of availability they provide and what users demand.
