Adaptable System Recovery (ASR) for Linux virtual machines

Imagine that your company will need to recover from a total system failure with the loss of all data, the operating system, applications, settings, and patches. Many systems administrators are under the false impression that a simple reinstall of the operating system or re-­provision from a template will be good enough since their enterprise backup products are backing up the data. Recovering from a catastrophic failure is a complex operation that takes anywhere from hours to weeks.

In this whitepaper learn how Bare-­Metal Recovery (BMR) can restore the Operating System (OS) with all of the configurations and application data in tact, whilst preventing lengthy downtime and costly mistakes when attempting to replicate the original system.

Boost IT visibility and business value

Decision makers at many organizations question the investments made in IT. This is often because they don’t fully understand the value delivered by IT service management (ITSM) or by compliance with recommended best practices such as those defined by the IT Infrastructure Library. This often pressures CIOs to demonstrate the value of IT to the business. Learn how creating a great service catalog can help alleviate these pressures and why many consider it to be fundamental to any IT improvement initiative.

An effective service catalog enables IT to deliver business services that are more customer and service focused, which results in higher customer satisfaction, provides standardization and consistency and increases IT visibility across the organization.
