The Institute's virtual servers are also now continuously available and a multi-layered recovery approach means crucial data is always on hand. CISL works with future leaders: helping them develop the skills they need to tackle critical global challenges. Through education programmes, business platforms and strategic engagement initiatives, the institute deepens future leaders' social, environmental and economic understanding.

The Institute selected Arcserve UDP to accelerate backup times, increase availability and speed up its data recovery. Arcserve UDP combines backup, replication, high availability and true global de-duplication technologies within one unified console for virtual and physical systems, along with advanced recovery capabilities. This has enabled CISL to:

• Ensure the availability of information for staff and stakeholders

• Prevent any disruptions due to slow backups

• Safeguard its reputation with future leaders by improving its ability to recover server data.

Arcserve UDP protects data across one physical server and 22 virtual machines running on three Citrix XenServer hosts. A total of 2.5TB of data is backed up including SQL server databases, MS Exchange mailboxes, MS Office files and a CRM system. Each night it automatically carries out incremental backups across CISL's virtual and physical servers, and during the day, file, email and database servers are backed up every four hours, with each backup taking just ten minutes, a task that previously took up to twenty-two hours.
