Most Teradata customers consider their data warehouse a strategic asset. It is used to support both long-term strategic decisions as well as daily tactical decisions.

Customers invest in disaster recovery because they want to minimize the risk and business impact associated with a system loss.

Teradata trained professionals can help you determine the best disaster recovery solution to fit your business needs. We can help you:

  • Understand what disaster recovery options exist and the unique capabilities of each
  • Identify your business requirements and map them to the appropriate disaster recovery option

Everything starts with understanding your Recovery Time Objective (RTO)

Choosing a Teradata Disaster Recovery option is straightforward. It is driven by business impact and a basic understanding of your Recovery Time Objective (RTO), which will dictate a specific recovery option.

Your Recovery Time Objective is the maximum amount of time your users can be without access to their application data following a disaster. In other words, how quickly must your data warehouse be back up and available to users after a catastrophic failure event.

How do you determine your RTO? Your RTO should be based on the business impact you anticipate as a result of not having access to your data warehouse. The business impact may range from employees not being able to do their job, to lost revenue opportunities. In general, your goal should be to recover your data warehouse before there is a financial impact to your company.

To help you determine your RTO as well as the best disaster recovery option for your company, Teradata is offering a Free Disaster Recovery Assessment. This no-obligation assessment is quick and easy.
