IT teams are under extreme pressure to improve backup, disaster recovery and data protection to eliminate downtime and facilitate digital transformation.<\/p>\n

Many IT leaders are embracing modern availability solutions to implement the 3-2-1 data protection rule as a best practice, according to a white paper by Veeam<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 3-2-1 data protection rule allows organizations to leverage the combination of storage snapshots, availability software and hybrid cloud to cost-efficiently modernise data protection and recovery to enable the Always-On Enterprise.<\/p>\n

84% of IT decision makers say they suffer from an availability gap, meaning they would like to improve backup and recovery times and do a better job of mitigating the costs and risks of unplanned downtime and the potential loss of critical business data.<\/p>\n

For many organizations, the answer to closing the availability gap is to embrace the 3-2-1 data protection rule, which is:<\/p>\n

3: Maintain at least three copies of your data and applications.<\/strong> This would be your production copy and two backups. If your production copy and primary backup copy become unavailable, you can still recover from your third copy.<\/p>\n

2: Store your data on at least two different types of storage media.<\/strong> Each media type has its own vulnerabilities. By using two different types of storage, such as disk and tape, you can reduce your exposure to a single incident, such as ransomware, preventing access to your critical data.<\/p>\n

1: Keep one of the backups in an off-site location.<\/strong> If all your copies are in the same location, they can all be affected by a major event such as a fire or other natural disaster.<\/p>\n

For IT decision makers, the challenge is not a lack of awareness of the 3-2-1 data protection rule, but how to implement it without creating additional IT costs and complexity.<\/p>\n

Yet, IT teams can deploy a simple and cost-efficient solution to leverage point-in-time storage snapshots and facilitate 3-2-1 backup and disaster recovery best practices in hybrid cloud environments.<\/p>\n

The solution is to use NetApp enterprise storage solutions in conjunction with the Veeam Availability Suite.<\/p>\n

The Veeam Availability Suite directly integrates with the NetApp ONTAP operating system and works hand-in-glove with NetApp storage snapshots to give IT teams a simple and efficient way to orchestrate and manage the availability of critical business workloads across hybrid cloud environments.<\/p>\n

By leveraging the Veeam Availability Suite in partnership with NetApp ONTAP storage solutions, IT teams can lower costs, improve RTOs and RPOs, reduce complexity and adhere to 3-2-1 best practices in data protection to meet modern availability challenges.<\/p>\n
