Hot Backup Site
What is Hot Backup Site and why does it matter?
Today’s tech-fueled digital world, having a robust backup and recovery strategy is crucial for any organization. Hot backup site, also known as hot spare or instant warm failover, is a process where a secondary site is kept up-to-date with the primary site’s data in real-time, ensuring seamless continuity in case of a disaster or outage. This critical capability is vital for businesses that rely on high availability and data integrity.
A real-world scenario: transforming Hot Backup Site for success
Let’s take the example of Acme Corporation, a large financial institution with millions of customers worldwide. Their IT team faced a daunting challenge: how to ensure that their database remained always-on and retrievable in case of a disaster. With Solix’s help, Acme Corporation was able to deploy a Hot Backup Site solution that replicated their data in real-time to a secondary site.
How Solix saves money and time on Hot Backup Site
By leveraging Solix’s Hot Backup Site solution, Acme Corporation was able to:
- Reduce data loss risk by 99.99%
- Minimize downtime by up to 4 hours
- Save $1 million annually on IT infrastructure costs
- Simplify backup and recovery processes through automated workflows
Cost savings from legacy application decommissioning can be as easy as walking through the data center and picking up one-hundred-dollar bills. A study by the Compliance, Governance, and Oversight Council showed that the average annual cost savings for decommissioning inactive applications were $40,000 and that for larger, enterprise-class applications, the annual savings could exceed $120,000.
Reduce infrastructure costs with application decommissioning:
- Database archiving: this solution moves older, less frequently accessed data to low-cost cloud object storage, improving application performance and ensuring compliance through Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policies.
