Disaster Recovery for the Next-Generation Data Center

As the data center becomes highly virtualized, and more and more business applications require near-continuous availability, the demand for faster, easier, and less expensive recovery solutions has never been greater.

• Can you respond with confidence to a component, application or complete site failure?
• Can you respond quickly enough?
• Have you tested your recovery procedures recently?
• Are your procedures documented and audit compliant?
• Are you leveraging virtualization technology effectively?

Traditional disaster recovery solutions target a limited set of static devices or applications, are often prohibitively expensive, and rarely address the human processes and workflows that are critical in a failure situation. Every data center has multiple operations silos (server, network, storage, and database teams, for example) and recovery often requires many stakeholders to be notified of and verify a failure, determine the cause, agree on a solution, and obtain the necessary approvals to initiate a fix. This end-to-end process is often poorly documented, difficult to test, and quickly becomes out-of-date with every application upgrade or technology refresh.

Enigmatec pioneered Run Book Automation technology six years ago with the Enigmatec Management System™ (EMS™) and continues to lead the industry with an integrated solution for failure management: Enigmatec Automated Disaster Recovery™ (ADR™).

Automate for Faster Response, Lower Costs, and Less Downtime

Working closely with our largest customers, we've developed and refined ADR to simplify all aspects of disaster recovery operations: creation, deployment, management, and monitoring. ADR is designed to work with the processes and management tools you have today, with little or no reconfiguration of existing systems.

ADR leverages and enhances your existing technology investment, and adds powerful recovery workflow modeling to address the needs of geographically and functionally distributed operations teams. Building on our experience with managing virtualized environments, ADR allows you to model your organizational tree into approval schemes so that appropriate management approval can be sought and recorded before failover or failback is executed.

ADR is written and deployed on EMS and can therefore utilize the broad set of adapters and integration technologies developed by Enigmatec for general purpose Run Book Automation, including the virtual lifecycle management features of the Enigmatec Virtual Orchestrator™ (EVO™)
