| BaRS |
The BaRS (Backup
and Recovery Simulation) toolset is used to simulate
backup and recovery processes and timelines to improve
recovery times before valuable time is spent
testing.
Most first-time disaster/recovery tests
don't even get the data restored to the servers before
the test
time is exhausted. This means that most of the
test effort and expense is wasted.
The BaRS
modeling process shows potential resource bottlenecks
during backup and recovery
processing. "What-if"
scenarios can be analyzed to determine and optimize the
backup environment
using various hardware and scheduling
configurations.
When the BaRS timeline indicates
that the recovery of segments of the IT infrastructure
do not meet business requirements, the recovery plan can
then be analyzed to determine where the recovery can be
improved. Without BaRS, your organization is left to
come up with best guesses as to what would
improve the
recovery.
It is hard, if not impossible to
analyze the cause-and-effect relationships among
multiple interactive components. There is no way to
verify changes outside of changing the Production
Environment, and what-ifs can only be tested in a trial
and error manner. This is time consuming, risky and
extremely costly. |
