VMware Business Data Recovery

Data Recovery

With more and more businesses using VMware to run virtual machines that run their business critical applications, what are the options available on the market and what advantages and functions do they have for data recovery?

VMware is the standard method of running multiple different operating systems on one server or PC. It allows easy support for Windows and Linux running side by side as many users require as well as letting users create isolated test environments to try out new software installs as well as to conduct riskier activities such as surfing the web. NetApp offer businesses scalable data storage platforms aimed at cloud and virtualized server environments. The backups created by the process are automatically verified and logged and it allows a remote recreation for the most efficient recovery from a data disaster event. Finally one of the most useful features is the fine grained recovery allowing you to add or reverse the recovered changes over the course of minutes of data base uptime.

One of the advantages of this set up is the ease of testing a data recovery simulated situation using additional virtual machine copies while the real database continues in full business use as before. Uptime is increasingly becoming the new aim of data recovery methods as storage options are sufficiently cheap and available that it is possible to maintain detailed and multiply redundant backups of all a businesses` data and machine details.

More businesses are recognising the advantages of fast and automated data recovery allowing downtimes to be reduced to a few minutes using the combination of VMware and NetApp. If you use VMware SRM with NetApp`s SnapManager or SnapMirror service it will automatically have a series of backups of your SQL Server database. VMware Sphere allows full machine recovery down to single file recovery at a far lower price than many other market data recovery options and at far lower cost in man hours than attempting to do it manually.

If having taken all of these steps your business suffers a major failure and does not succeed in its own automated or manual recovery of the data you may need the services of a professional data recovery company, as one of the leading locations for data recovery London has large numbers of highly professional businesses that are able to offer a wide range of data recovery service on all platforms and from all types of storage.
