Venyu provides solutions for data protection, availability and recovery remotely. The company reports that its AmeriVault(R) remote online backup and virtualized disaster recovery solution received high marks in an independent Lab review. The review included running the backup service and recovery of over half a Terabyte of data to virtual servers from a datcenter 1500 miles away, according to the company.
Two factors are pointing to the criticality of improving backup and recovery in coming years. One is the 20% average yearly growth of storage capacity. The other is the increasing business impact of system downtime on enterprises. IT managers are constantly searching for dependable ways to protect their vital data in a way that makes minimum demands on their time.
A good solution will backup data efficiently to a remote offsite location. Any local disasters that do happen will then not affect this remotely stored copy, and data recovery will simply involve restoring from the backup. And the efficiency of the data restore from remote servers will determine how quickly companties can restart their operations.
