Static Back-up

Focus is on protecting datao Tape back-upo Imaging

Poor performanceo Slow RTO, RPO (days)

Hidden costso How do we get the data back

in to a useable state?o How long to rebuild the server?


Bare Metal Restore

• Multiple steps– Acquire Hardware -> Image Deploy -> System Configuration -> Pray…

• Error prone

• Cross platform issues

• Labor Intensive

• Time intensive


Speed changes everything

What do Customers Have to Say?


Nichols College

“Disaster recovery solutions can be very complex ... PlateSpin Forge is very straightforward. There’s just one piece of hardware to manage. It’s low maintenance, and has low overhead. Without it, we certainly would have spent more money on another disaster recovery solution that would have required more resources to support it.”
