Featured Reviews

Harsh Shrivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Thomson Reuters
Rapid recovery has minimized downtime and protects critical data during frequent outages
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery can be improved through regular drills to ensure that all resources are properly prepared for disasters with scheduled drills. This includes testing and understanding failback, which is crucial for a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. Monitoring and health checks are important to continuously monitor the health of the ongoing replication using the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery console or programmatically. This helps identify any servers that may require attention and ensures that the application is functioning correctly. Creating a CloudFormation template that can create the necessary network resources on demand is useful for disaster recovery. There should be documentation and best practices guidance so that teams can follow best practices for implementation and maintenance of disaster recovery from on-premises using AWS. This includes a written recovery plan as well as regularly updating it with findings and required changes. Within the scope of improvements, there are many possibilities, but it is currently providing some great results. The scope of improvements can include monitoring and health checks as well as documentation with best practices for documentations, and conducting regular drills.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.
