5 tips to make the infrastructure costs and to reduce the risk of a data center disaster recovery build-out

A disaster recovery site is a massive undertaking, with multiple points of financial risks that may jeopardize the project. This report can analyze the ways how to reduce costs and mitigate risks in the proposed disaster recovery.
The reuse of equipment
Space saving valuable data center instead of the production could finance 100% of R & D project. Consider to be updated and re-development, testing, or aging, can production of its main website of DR That way you bring the latest technology for the primary site and the transition of aging IT assets to the DR site. This not only reduces the capital costs of your IT project DR also free space in the data center at its place of production and provide an opportunity for the team as a great city to upgrade.
The material data storage
Material data storage is one of the fastest growing and most expensive parts of the R & D puzzle. There are two effective ways to reduce costs: the first is considered the reconfiguration and reallocation of existing IBM, EMC and NetApp series from a production site for DR. Secondly, consider buying a used SAN storage array has been reconfigured to meet your needs. This way you can win between $ 30,000 to $ 300,000 or more can save, depending on configuration.
Connectivity - SAN bandwidth and
SAN connectivity is possible that the FCIP routers, SAN directors, switches, host bus adapters and additional network equipment to the new location, with Bluecoat, Cisco and Riverbed WAN acceleration to the cost of bandwidth to . reduce Be used by the acquisition and deployment with Cisco MDS SAN Brocade directors or in the site, you can save $ 50,000 and $ 150,000, so buy his room to WAN acceleration, and long-term savings term recurring bandwidth.
Transition and Logistics
Moving equipment in the production of several DR may logistical nightmares. As an insurance against unexpected power failure, do not swing or rental of computer storage hardware systems, including EMC and IBM, data migration and displacement of their movement. One of our customers to take advantage of this technique and rented a cabin EMC storage for two months. The ambassador of the table to their place of production, the data is migrated, then the matrix used in the manufacture of rent, so he sent the host to the new location. This gave them peace and time to the systems in your spare time, to move the DR, and avoid the kind of "rush job", which is usually condemned to failure.
Replication techniques:
There are several ways that you promote and protect the data between data centers, like IBM, SVC, EMC MirrorView, CommVault, InMage, Veeam, clustering, log shipping, and others.Study in the design of your recovery strategy, several options and make sure you choose the best for your RPO and RTO objectives.Price and functionality vary greatly with the replication technology, so do your homework, you may limit your ability to be more profitable than you think. In addition, read through the coupling of replication technology with SAN storage systems and improvements in cost reduction of 30-70%, and can and store more data on the hard disk instead of tape.
You are certainly many challenges and opportunities as you build your disaster recovery plan, but I hope these ideas have a good start.
