Comparing a network to a race car and the IT manager to its driver, assume a tire blows at 150 mph on the racetrack. The driver makes an emergency pit stop. While his team replaces the tire, his competition passes him by. Although he eventually resumes speed and rejoins the race, the wasted time can never be recouped. This is analogous to redundant server, data backup, storage, and retrieval solutions.
On the other hand, if a "Déjà Vu equipped" car blows a tire, the spare is automatically lowered from the correct wheel-well at full speed, without having to make a time wasting pit stop. This is analogous to an enterprise grade Business Continuity System. Déjà Vu. |
