The latest data recovery tools restore networks in a flash

Business Computing World predicts solid state drives to be a common component of data recovery plans as the price of the technology continues to fall. Hybrid drives, which combine spinning disk drives with SSD technology, can be used to streamline the task of storing data and creating flash memory backups. Availability of flash memory storage will also allow IT teams to integrate localized backups at the on-site infrastructure's most critical junctures.

Another growing trend in data recovery is securing backup methods with automatic encryptions. Hardware encrypted drives are designed so that the key activates only after the drive itself has been corrupted. This solution helps IT teams prevent data loss scares from turning into full-on security breaches.

Tips for recovery plans
Datacenter Knowledge warns that any company making use of data storage technology should have a detailed data recovery plan. At the very least, companies will benefit from having an indexed list of the files that are most critical to day-to-day business. Even designing a data recovery plan around a few select clusters of data helps to minimize potential losses from a system failure.

The article also stresses that data recovery is not just a matter of protecting revenue. Industry compliance with data security standards is extremely important. These parameters can also be used as guidelines for ways to make your data center more secure. Finally, IT teams working together from multiple facilities can boost connectivity through the use of remote console servers. This technology would facilitate open access between networks for the sake of streamlining data recovery efforts.
