How to improve your DR for Nutanix environment

Organizations are tapping into the power and flexibility of enterprise hybrid cloud infrastructure.

When it comes to disaster recovery however, many IT teams have yet to unlock the full value of pairing their Nutanix environment with public cloud infrastructure. Organizations have yet to tap into the cloud’s cost-savings, efficiency, and resiliency for disaster recovery compare to secondary on-prem sites. Tightening IT budgets and leaner teams will change that, however.

We live in age of extreme weather fueled by climate change and rampant cyberattacks, on top of all the mundane occurrences of equipment failure and power outages. If it feels like disasters are becoming more frequent, more severe, and closer than ever to home, it’s because they are. Natural disasters have increased fivefold over the last 50 years, according to the World Meteorological Organization.

Disasters are more common and their impacts more costly to businesses today.

The Uptime Institute found that 60% of outages resulted in downtime that cost over $100,000 in losses to the business, while 15% of the time that cost is over $1,000,000. That’s a big, unexpected cost. The worst part, however, is the Uptime Institute’s research found that it’s also a common occurrence: 80% of datacenter managers and operators have experienced an outage in the last three years.
