  2. Are You Ready for This?

  3. IT Problems • Shrinking Budgets • Reduced Headcount • Greater Demands DOWNTIME

  4. According to Gartner… • Two out of five enterprises that experience a disaster will go out of business within five years. • While 85% of Global 2000 enterprises have a disaster recovery plan covering core technology and infrastructure, only 15% have a full-fledged business continuity plan. • Source: “What is Crisis Management?”Gartner Research, September 2001

  5. Business Operation Average Cost per Hour … $6.5 million Brokerage Operations … $2.6 million Credit Card/Sales Authorization … Pay-per-View Television $1.1 million … Home Shopping (TV) $113.0 thousand … Home Catalog Sales $90.0 thousand … Airline Reservations $89.5 thousand Cost of Downtime

  10. Business Continuity must cover • People • Process • Information technology • Connectivity • Supply chain • Call Centers • Facilities • It’s not just the data center!

  11. Business Continuity Life Cycle Business Impact Assessment Business Continuity Strategies Strategy Implementation And Testing Maintenance And yearly updates

  12. Begin with a Business Impact Assessment • Objective • To clearly and impartially demonstrate the bottom line impact of systems and other disruptions on specific functional areas within your enterprise • Goals • To quantify the level of Business Continuity Planning needed to ensure rapid restoration of key business processes and resumption of technology based operations in the event of a disruption. • To meet the requirements set forth by customers, suppliers and employees

  13. Why is the Business Impact Assessment Important • Which processes and functions are critical, necessary, or optional for business survival • In what order and how fast these functions need to be recovered • What the interdependencies of these functions are • What the financial exposures are • The impact on revenue, investor confidence, customer service, goodwill, competitive edge, market share, etc. if critical functions can’t be performed

  14. Specialized Products and Services

Based on IDC Clustering Report and Novell Research Excellent Poor

  30. Integrated Services for Recovery and Access (Users) • Novell iFolder™ “We needed a central point of storage for local files, something other than a normal ‘Home Directory’ that would be available should another disaster occur. We needed something that would ‘back up’ the user's local data automatically because they will never do it themselves. iFolder to the rescue! We have our pilot group syncing their files to a server off-site automatically. It takes no time at all seeing that iFolder only writes the delta rather than the whole darn file like some ‘other’ similar products.” Steven Beyer, Consultant PC/LAN Support Securities Industry Automation Corporation

  31. Where is your corporate data? • Gartner Group, IDC, and Meta Group state that up to 80% of a company’s business critical data resides on PCs (Desktops & Laptops) • Up to 96% of all business PCs are not being backed up (Strategic Research Corporation ) • According to IDC, the mobile work force in the U.S., Western Europe and Latin America is expected to grow from 34.7 million in 2001 to 60.8 million in 2004. • 35% of PCs sold into business organizations are laptops (IDC)

  32. What the analysts are saying • According to John Girard, a vice president and research director at Gartner, "Enterprises can realize substantial support savings and productivity gains by selecting appropriate remote backup and restore tools for their nomadic users. Avoiding just a few disasters may justify the entire value of the investment."

  33. Problems of Data Availability • Your data is everywhere and yet, frequently not where you need it • If your computer experiences a system crash or is stolen, your data is lost – no disaster recovery Office Home • Your data is difficult to access from the Internet Mobile Hotel • You don’t dare store sensitive data on the network • You don’t want to change the way you access your data Cyber Cafe PDA Air

  34. What the Organization Needs • Critical corporate data on laptops and desktops needs to be backed up to the network automatically • Local files should be safe when they are sent to the server and should remain secure on the network – encryption should be automatic • Anywhere file access that increases the productivity of all users • Ability to consolidate the storage and simplify the management associated with network “home directories”
