Data centre company Nutanix has added more advanced disaster recovery capabilities to its hyperconverged infrastructure software and AHV hypervisor to help companies better protect their most important applications..jpg?lu=797)
The updates, which include a new advanced automation capability for recovering apps and their data, are designed to help businesses ensure continuity of busi- ness operations should disaster strike.
Nutanix said that strong recovery policies are no longer something that are just “nice to have,” but rather essential requirements for many companies. How- ever, existing disaster recovery solutions can be extremely complex and difficult to implement, and they demand on-going maintenance, the company said. The idea with the new capabilities in Nutanix HCI and AHV is to reduce this complexity.
“Maintaining continuous business operations is a high priority for all types of com- panies and organisations,” said Greg Smith, vice president of product marketing at Nu- tanix. “However, most businesses rely on custom, handcrafted disaster recovery im- plementations to guard against systemwide IT failures. Nutanix now natively delivers automated, easy-to-deploy disaster recov- ery solutions built to deliver applications that must always be available.”
Nutanix also highlighted its “unmatched near sync disaster recovery” capability, which supports asynchronous replication with a Recovery Point Objective of just 20 seconds, a three-times improvement on its existing technology. RPO, a measurement of the maximum tolerable amount of data to lose, is used to measure how much time can occur between the most recent data backup and a disaster without causing se- rious damage to business operations.
