We have found that the key question which is being increasingly asked by business and technology executives today is 'How can we continue to run the business following a significant IT infrastructure failure?' In response to this, organisations across Europe are implementing Disaster Recovery plans to manage such failures and to minimise their impact on the overall organisation. However, risk management and compliance concerns have, to a large degree, obliged organisations to establish whether they have adequate rigor and completeness in their and Disaster Recovery procedures.
This report examines the reasons why Disaster recovery has become such a concern for organisations throughout the world. We reinforce the benefits inherent in the offerings of some of the largest suppliers of Disaster Recovery across Europe. We forecast that the demand for high-availability and disaster recovery will continue to rise in 2006 due to businesses looking for more high-availability solutions and business continuity requirements to support their mission critical applications.
We predict that hardware and software vendors will continue to offer improved solutions to support increased availability of databases as well as database management services vendors constantly improving on automating log-shipping features in pursuit of more innovative zero-data-loss solutions.
The report concludes by offering a holistic market view of the top Disaster Recovery suppliers across Europe and it critiques these current market offerings to identify forecasted niche areas with reference to Europe market trends.
