Recoverability

No matter how efficient your hardware, software, operational procedures and staff may be, they will not save your business if critical data assets are lost. Teradata provides a wide selection of Business Continuity Solutions designed to speed your system's recovery to 2 - 4 days instead of weeks. In addition, we offer the services of our Certified Disaster Recovery Professionals for system configuration and support.

The Teradata Backup-Archive-Restore (BAR) Implementation Service provides a proven methodology combined with hardware and software that will enable you to protect your critical data assets in the event of a disaster. The key features of this service are the configuration of the Teradata BAR hardware and software, optimization of throughput, and training on the BAR architecture, software, and operations. Once completed, Teradata BAR Service ensures that your new platform will be fully functional and your staff trained using a proven BAR solution — and best of all, you can be confident that your critical data assets are properly protected.

Benefits to Teradata BAR Implementation Service include:

• Avoiding catastrophic critical data loss
• Improved critical data accessibility in the event of a loss
• Optimized cost of backing up, archiving and recovering critical data
• Increased operator efficacy during BAR activities

Over time and with use, your BAR environment can become volatile due to growing data capacities, inadvertent software changes, and even firmware alterations, among other variables. Teradata Backup-Archive-Restore (BAR) Optimization Service provides assurance that your BAR solution is performing at optimal levels and speeds while mitigating the risk of issues throughout the lifecycle of your BAR solution. Teradata BAR Optimization Service includes a periodic consultation of your BAR architecture, processes and technology. Since every BAR environment is different, so the Optimization Service is highly customizable to fit your specific needs.

• Holistic evaluation of current system settings and performance
• Expert system tuning and targeted recommendations
• Proactive avoidance of degraded or failing backups and restores caused by bottlenecks and changes in the BAR/Teradata environments
