For small, medium and large businesses, it is critical to provide high availability of data for both customers and employees. The objective behind disaster recovery and business continuance plans is accessibility to data anywhere and at any time. Meeting these objectives is all but impossible with a single data center. The single data center is a single point of failure if a catastrophic event occurs. The business comes to a standstill until the data center is rebuilt and the applications and data are restored. Enterprises can realize application scalability and high availability and increased redundancy by deploying multiple data centers, also known as distributed data centers (DDC). This Solutions Reference Network Design (SRND) guide discusses the benefits, technologies, and platforms related to designing distributed data centers. More importantly, this SRND discusses disaster recovery and business continuance, which are two key problems addressed by deploying a DDC.
