What is RTO (Recovery Time Objective)?

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the tolerable amount of time before a system fully recovers after a disruption. With widespread tape backup solutions a company could be down for up to two days, whereas Hystax Acura boots devices directly from cloud-native snapshots to minimize downtime and achieve low RTO.

Does Hystax Acura protect backups against ransomware?

Yes. Hystax Acura includes ransomware protection that detects abnormal replication behavior and protects restore points from compromise, strengthening backup and recovery services and ensuring IT Resilience and Business Continuity.

Disaster recovery to any public or private cloud

Hystax Platform is the only disaster recovery solution that supports any private or public cloud. It boasts significant cost reduction and minimal RPO and RTO when recovering to a DR site or failing back to production.

Cross-cloud disaster recovery software

Relying on a single cloud provider would not be enough to ensure high availability, so to guarantee 100% uptime, you may want to deploy your workloads in multiple public clouds. Our Hystax Platform solution comes to the rescue and immediately restores access to your data, even when one of the cloud providers fails.

Why is disaster recovery so important?

IT Disasters pose a great threat to any business that relies on IT infrastructure. Just one hour of outage might result in a loss amounting to a million dollars. Approximately 75% of disasters are caused by hardware failures or human error, but their negative impact can be minimized with the help of disaster recovery solutions.

What are some major disaster recovery challenges?

High costs

With conventional DR solutions, you should have your own servers and advanced network features to ensure low RPO and RTO. All this hardware, along with its maintenance and support, would cost a fortune.

Meeting RPO

Basically, Recovery Point Objective (RPO) defines how much data a company can afford to lose in the case of a disaster. The larger the company is, the more sensitive it is to data loss, so a common 24-hour RPO timeframe is simply not enough.

Meeting RTO

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is a tolerable amount of time before a system fully recovers after a disruption. With wide-spread tape backup solutions, a company could be down up to two days before all applications are restored.

Maintaining a DR plan

Most companies struggle with maintaining a disaster recovery plan – their data is constantly evolving, so that they can’t keep up with changes. The result is that their DRP becomes outdated, which could lead to failure in the recovery.
