"Some people just take a belt-and-braces approach and replicate everything" said Jim Spooner IT service management practice lead at consulting firm GlassHouse Technologies. "But in today's economic climate a lot of people are revising the one-size-fits-all approach as they can end up spending too much or too little. " ne company that has adopted this tiered storage approach is international construction and consultancy firm Mace. It employs gold silver and bronze disaster recovery levels that are "defined in terms of the criticality of operations and the order in which they're recovered" said Guy Miller IT director at the firm. These classifications are then linked to service-level agreements (SLAs). In Mace's case the gold level guarantees that data will be replicated every 15 minutes and that no information or service loss will occur beyond that timeframe. Data is replicated every four hours for the silver level and every eight hours for bronze.

We just closed Godrej last month and then we got another big deal from it. Britannia is an old client and the deal keeps getting renewed. Supply chain is crucial to this sector. And we bring our expertise from the automotive sector where we have done a lot of work.
