This last weekend I watched Capricorn One, a classic sci-fi film about a failed Mars mission that was staged in an abandoned miliary base in the desert.  The public wanted to see that the mission had been a success - and NASA wanted to give them that “proof”.

I’ve posted about how IBM Storage Defender is providing proof of recovery, but I don’t want you all to think that we’re employing the use of a dusty Hollywood sound stage to fake the proof.  So I’m going to share the first of some demos of the Defender Data Resiliency Service.

Your Business Can Be Recovered
This first video by @Dominic Müller-Wicke, the tallest of the Defender architects, shows how DRS relates the components of your business to tangible resources in your data centre and how you can plan and prepare for the safest and quickest recovery.

Mapping Your Resources
Dominic talked about how recovery groups represented the resources in your data centre, but in this next video @Michael Fiedler from the DRS development team is going to get into a little more detail about how DRS uses its extensive knowledge of the resources to create these groups for you and map resources to each other.  You don’t want to be doing this kind of herculean task as you’re trying to recover from a ransomware attack.

Automated Creation of Recovery Groups

No Room for Complacency
Back to Dominic for the third video which shows how DRS helps bridge the gap between primary and backup storage and ensures that the best laid backup plans don’t drift.  By applying some governance to the recovery groups that Michael showed, we can effectively create and police SLAs between the admins and the C-suite, providing them proof that their business is recoverable.
