Today, most organizations are focused on their business operations and ask the question "Is business well-protected from a disaster?" There needs to be a well-researched response to this question. In addition to the business operation requirements, there are a number of regulatory bodies that have mandatory requirements regarding protecting and retrieving data that organizations need to comply with. Disaster planning and recovery are important subjects that every CIO/CTO needs to seriously examine and execute, as it is imperative that data is protected in any organization. This paper attempts to explain disaster recovery basics and detail several remote replication solutions that are available from Hewlett-Packard using the HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway and HP StorageWorks Continuous Access software.
