White Papers for Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The Business Value of Dual-Use DR

Symantec

This white paper will describe how Veritas Provisioning Manager is a leading automated server provisioning solution that has had great success when deployed and used to build servers within a local area data center environment. As Provisioning Manager has become more widely used, customers are discovering a growing number of ways to realize value from its ability to rapidly provision operating system and application images. One of the newest and most novel ways to deploy Provisioning Manager is to reuse a remote QA or test facility as a disaster recovery (DR) site in the event of catastrophe. Conversely, companies are getting new use out of previously idle DR sites, using these investments for software development, for example, then rapidly reprovisioning them back to DR roles with Provisioning Manager when needed. Also known as “dual-use DR,” this new solution enables the benefits of business continuity protection while getting maximum return on IT hardware, software, and data center space investment.
