Challenges

• Application availabilty– 24x7 availability of revenue generating

applications– zero application downtime is expected– shrinking backup window

• Increasing volume of Notes/Domino content – complex database management– backup window no longer adequate

• Loss of vital business data because of– hardware errors (computer and disk)– logical errors (software bugs,

operator/administrator errors, user errors)– disaster (fire, water, earthquake)

4

Solutions

• Ensure application availability– Online Backup – High performance backup/restore– Domino replication

• Minimize operating costs– Fast and easy restore/recovery– Automation and scheduling

• Protect vital business data– Data integrity – Application integration (API)

• Protect investment in Storage/SAN technology– LAN Free backup/restore– Snapshot/FlashCopy functions
