During normal business operations, or in the event of a disaster or even a business anomaly, which requires data recovery, WAN performance and disaster recovery tend to go hand-in-hand. The key to a successful recovery is the backup and restore. The backup and restore exercise is generally measured by two major factors: speed and cost. How you manage the recovery process, implement the backup and ensure business continuity will be judged by how long the recovery took and how much it cost.

In our first blog article we talked a lot about WAN performance and disaster recovery. It is one of the focus areas for our blog and something we think about a lot these days. Also in that first blog, we mentioned that we’d bring together here Certeon news and events as well as “industry subject matter experts and analysts.” Well, as we wouldn’t want to disappoint early on… Shawn Cooney, co-founder of Certeon, and Deni Connor, senior analyst from Storage Strategies Group just held a webcast, Accelerating Backup with WAN Optimization Virtual Appliances, that discusses bringing data recovery, WAN optimization, and virtualization together.

In this webcast you will see examples, using industry-leading backup and replication solutions, where Certeon’s aCelera Sync virtual appliance software for data recovery, reduces the backup window by up to 97% and WAN bandwidth usage by up to 95%, saving valuable disaster recovery time and costs.

This webcast discusses how you can:

• Dramatically improve RTO and RPO
• Decrease remote backup and replication times
• Decrease network bandwidth requirements
• Optimize industry-leading data recovery solutions such as CommVault, Double-Take, EqualLogic, EMC, FalconStor, Network Appliance, and Symantec.

The webcast was pre-recorded and can be seen at Accelerating Backup with WAN Optimization Virtual Appliances.
