Do these scenarios sound familiar?
- Can you accommodate backup and replication traffic over your existing WAN link?
- Do you need more WAN-bandwidth in order to accommodate remote data backups?
- Can your existing WAN support your business continuance or disaster recovery plans?
Implementing a resilient data backup and replication strategy for remote offices is not a luxury, but a
necessity. With an estimated 4+ million remote offices worldwide and nearly 60% of data residing outside of
the data center, organizations with multiple locations are challenged when it comes to backing up and
replicating mission-critical data. WAN optimization and application acceleration technology will decrease
the time it takes to backup and replicate data.
Benefits of WAN Backup & Replication Acceleration
WAN-based backup and data replication technologies benefit from Cisco WAAS because of its ability to
reduce redundant data – even when replication technologies use delta-set techniques (sending only the
data that has changed).
The results of deploying Cisco WAAS can help meet backup windows and increase WAN bandwidth utilization. These types of
performance gains enable organizations to reliably and regularly complete network-based backup and replications
without interfering with other applications that require the WAN access. The benefits include:
- Reduced transfer times to meet backup and replication windows
- Faster and more reliable data protection
- Secured data in the event of a disaster
- Dramatically cut costs associated with backup and replication
- Streamline IT staff resources
