Business-critical functions are increasingly driven by IT. More and more businesses work around-the-clock. Disaster recovery has become arguably the most important aspect of business continuity planning.
Traditionally IT architects use a hub site (such as the head office) with connecting branch sites to get access to business-critical systems over a WAN. However, this topology creates significant limitations for disaster recovery and scalability. In particular, two major problems become apparent:
- Placing these business-critical applications at a hub site creates a single point of failure that will cause services to be lost to all of the spoke sites in the event of a disaster.
- The connectivity for the hub site acts as a bottle neck and the limitations of the access circuit hold back the ability to up-scale usage or scale out the number of sites connected.
Optimum Disaster Recovery
Right now you could be losing money by running disaster recovery on a spaghetti-like WAN infrastructure. This is made more complex by the need to run diverse links to your remote disaster recovery sites. Let us talk to you about VPLS – and how it can save you time and money by helping to centralise the Disaster Recovery process.
VPLS can achieve this by making your Disaster Recovery site available throughout the WAN as a virtualised resource. VPLS opens up enormous opportunities to consolidate a lot of the duplication you have in your WAN, saving you money without losing any of the robustness and security that are critical in your network.
