WikitipIntegration makes RPO more important than RTOIT executives should aggressively educate their constituents that improving RPO (recovery point objective) and avoiding data loss/data inconsistency will in general be a better investment than focusing on RTO (recovery time objective) and getting systems up faster. This is because as today's applications increasingly become inter-related, the best and most viable way to perform proper recovery is to do so in an automated fashion, with as little human intervention as possible. Fast recovery with inconsistent data will mean human intervention and a 'rat hole' of endless fixes with uncertain outcomes. |
Featured Case Study
Financial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. This effort is not viewed by the IT administration as a one-time project but rather as a perpetual process of evaluating new technology in part on its energy efficiency and introducing it into the corporate data centers to replace aging systems as appropriate. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. | |||
