As continuous data protection (CDP) is integrated into backup environments, implementations with other backup protection programs may become complex. This E-Guide takes an in-depth look at the options available with Continuous Data Protection, and how to best utilize CDP with existing applications.
Continuous Data Protection (CDP) software is primed to tackle enterprise high-availability requirements. As companies seek to eliminate or drastically reduce backup windows and to create faster point-in-time recoveries for more mission-critical apps, CDP software has become a viable alternative to traditional backup software and storage system-based replication software. But with multiple points where CDP software can be integrated in the storage infrastructure, and the emerging linkage of CDP with backup applications, organizations may need to tackle lengthy and potentially complex CDP implementations. This article focuses mainly on CDP products from vendors who sell CDP and backup software.
