Sanovi's Approach

Sanovi's solutions are based on a comprehensive framework that is designed to address maintaining a recovery solution for optimum, predictable performance across its entire life cycle, offering solutions that are appropriate for all recovery maturity stages (Stage 0 through Stage 3, as defined by The Gartner Group). From mapping out process flow and recovery dependencies, to monitoring for recovery exposures, automating recovery test regimens, and providing relevant reporting, Sanovis product set will provide you the real time information you need to keep your recovery solutions in good working order.

The core of our offering will leverage our recovery dependency database, built around recovery solution signature objects, that are specific to various vendor products (EMC SRDF with Oracle databases running on clustered Windows servers, log shipping with Sybase databases on SPARC/Solaris, etc.). Our recovery dependency database supports a wide range of architectures (active/active or active/passive clustering, physical or virtual machines, etc.) and can be expanded through the use of field-defined DR solution signatures, providing end users and channel partners the flexibility to manage almost any DR solution.

To ease deployments, DRM solutions should be flexible enough to accommodate existing DR solutions. Sanovis technology uses recovery solution signatures for well-defined recovery architectures based around the following:

  • Array-based storage-centric replication leveraging products from EMC, IBM, HDS, and other major array manufacturers
  • Log-based replication leveraging mainstream database products such as Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2, Sybase, and other major providers

Customers of Sanovi solutions will be able to choose from pre-existing recovery solution signature templates for mainstream recovery products or can create their own custom recovery solution signatures to monitor host- or network-based recovery solutions. Customers can also import their existing run books into the Sanovi framework, and then evolve and fine tune recovery workflows from there. An important design tenet of RM is to be product and vendor agnostic, providing customers with the maximum flexibility in accommodating their existing configurations and the freedom to adopt new DR technologies as they become available.
