3 Pillars of Data Loss Prevention for VMware vSphere

Business adoption of server virtualization is expected to reach 97% in the next two years [1] Over 500,000 businesses rely on VMware products [2] Out of 40 million VMs deployed worldwide, 75% run on <a href="https://www.nakivo.com/vmware-backup/">VMware vSphere</a> [3] Want to boost data resilience in your VMware vSphere environment? Start by adopting a sound data loss prevention strategy that rests on 3 pillars:  Data protection planning Backup optimization Data protection automation <ol> <li> Data Protection Planning </li> </ol> Establish Recovery Targets [4] Companies with failed VM  recoveries report the following issues:* <ul> <li> diversion of IT staff/resources – 44% </li> <li> productivity loss – 43% </li> <li> data loss – 39% </li> </ul> <ul> <li> compliance issues – 34% </li> <li> revenue loss – 31% </li> <li> damage to brand integrity – 29% </li> </ul> <ul> <li> loss of employee confidence – 28% </li> <li> revocation of licenses – 24% </li> <li> loss of customer confidence – 23%  </li> </ul> *Companies may experience more than one issue at a time. Beware of Common Data Loss Causes in Virtualized Environments [5] 40% Deleted VMs 30% Hardware failures 10% Migration failures 10% Corrupted snapshots 10% Other Develop and Test an Incident Response Plan 39% of SMBs operate without an incident response plan [6] Up to $2 million in savings reported by companies with incident response preparedness [7] <ol> <li> Backup Optimization  </li> </ol> Back Up Regularly 60% of backups are incomplete [8] 59% of businesses don’t back up daily [9] 10% of companies never back up [9] Reduce the Size of VMware Backups Up to 68% in storage space savings using a built-in data compression feature of NAKIVO Backup & Replication [10] Up to 10x in storage space savings using NAKIVO Backup & Replication-enabled deduplication along with data compression and omission of swap data [10] Test Disaster Recovery Plans [11] Organizations test disaster recovery plans with the following frequency: 28.9% every month 28.4% every 1-3 months 23.5% every 3-6 months 12.4% once or twice per year 4.3% less than once per year 1.3% never 1.3% don't know III.  Data Protection Automation Automate Failback and Disaster Recovery 34.7% of companies lack appropriate failback and disaster recovery automation tools [11] Avoid Common Failback Challenges [11] 54.5% of organizations struggle to failback due to format inconsistencies 52.5% of organizations exceed failback time targets   47.5% of organizations struggle to recognize the incremental changes that have occurred since failover Minimize the Prohibitive Cost of Lost Data [12] For a company with an annual revenue of $100 million, one hour of data loss costs  up to $270,000 with daily backups up to $45,000 with snapshot-based replication up to $7,500 with near-zero continuous replication NAKIVO Backup & Replication A Solid Foundation for Your VMware vSphere Data Loss Prevention Strategy    Advanced VMware Integration  NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports the latest versions of vSphere. With support for vSphere 7, you can take advantage of VMware’s newest functionality and ensure that your VMs are protected.   One Solution, One Interface  NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers a full range of backup features for virtual and mixed environments, including backup, replication, instant granular restore, and site recovery for virtual, cloud, physical and SaaS environments, all managed from a centralized web interface.   Simple Administration  Set policy rules for automated VM backups based on a VM’s name, tag, size, etc. Matching VMs are automatically added to corresponding jobs or excluded from them.   Easy and Quick Deployment  Install in minutes on Windows, Linux or NAS, or deploy as a VMware virtual appliance and get started with VM protection right away.   Global Deduplication  Global deduplication across an entire repository – regardless of the source of data – improves VM backup performance and lowers costs for long-term data retention.   Low Total Cost of Ownership  Two licensing models for VMware infrastructures are available to fit the budget of organizations of any size: perpetual (priced per socket) and subscription (priced per workload).   Full VM Recovery  Recover a full VM to the same or a different host with its configuration and the virtual disk data. You can retain up to 4,000 recovery points per VM.   Granular Recovery  Instantly restore individual files, application objects (for MS Exchange, Active Directory or SQL) back to the original or custom locations.
