This is the third time I have received the disaster recovery industry white paper compiled by Infinit, and it is the first time I am formally recommending this white paper to everyone. Rather than being called a white paper, it is more accurate to describe it as a solution guide for the disaster recovery industry. The white paper not only provides guidance for the disaster recovery industry but also offers valuable insights for other IT businesses. Additionally, it is highly practical for enterprises that have established cloud strategies and for cloud computing companies like Oracle.

In May 2016, 51CTO first participated in the release of Infinit’s white paper as the exclusive publishing platform and has since witnessed Infinit’s and the entire disaster recovery industry’s development over the years. The release of Infinit’s white paper this time, with its detailed solutions and project cases, further demonstrates the current development and future trends of different industries. Undoubtedly, this is a technical white paper, an insightful one, and a significant milestone for the disaster recovery industry.

At Infinit’s request, I am writing a recommendation for the “2019 China Disaster Recovery Industry White Paper.” With a responsible attitude, I carefully read the white paper, and it brought me pleasant surprises with its coverage of enterprise cloud migration and industry solutions. It has grasped the current industry hotspots and market core. Cloud computing’s trend is unstoppable; regardless of your liking or acceptance, it is an issue you must face. On the surface, enterprise cloud migration, cloud transformation, and disaster recovery seem unrelated, and their relationship cannot be simplified to disaster recovery for cloud computing systems or traditional disaster recovery protection technology migration to the cloud.

In the cloud environment, data protection, security, reliability, and stability issues have not disappeared with cloud transformation; backup and disaster recovery technologies are still needed. The core issue is data, and the application of replication technology is key, which is Infinit’s strong suit. With this technology as a guarantee, combined with industry management needs and characteristics, targeted industry solutions have truly achieved a targeted approach and are meaningful for industry guidance and reference.

As a crystallization of the efforts of dozens of experts, the “2019 China Disaster Recovery Industry White Paper” is representative in professionalism, knowledgeability, and industry foresight. It is an indispensable and beneficial guide for industry users and practitioners. More importantly, disaster recovery is not just about backup and recovery applications; it is also about data usage and management. Whether it is data backup, recovery to the cloud, or local protection of cloud computing applications, it is at least a beginning for hybrid cloud applications.

The “2019 China Disaster Recovery Industry White Paper,” edited by Infinit Research Institute, is a basic popular science reading material for the disaster recovery industry. The book is divided into six main parts: disaster recovery knowledge and technology overview, industry compliance requirements, business implementation and service quality evaluation, enterprise cloud migration and cloud disaster recovery, characteristics and analysis of key industry construction solutions, and industry development trends. Starting from theoretical knowledge and combined with specific typical cases, this white paper introduces the problems faced by disaster recovery in industry informatization and proposes corresponding solutions and future development trends. This integration of theoretical understanding and practical application can better assist governments, enterprises, and individuals in understanding disaster recovery technology development and related applications. This white paper can also serve as a technical reference and theoretical support for cloud disaster recovery technology services.

As an old friend of Infinit, I am delighted to learn that Infinit has written the “2019 China Disaster Recovery Technology White Paper” and offer my sincere congratulations. With 97 pages of substantial content, I can fully appreciate the hard work and countless sleepless nights of the writers. This white paper, filled with sincerity, professionalism, and practicality, will undoubtedly benefit disaster recovery professionals and is an ideal choice for those who want a comprehensive understanding of the disaster recovery industry.

Since 2016, Infinit has been writing the China Disaster Recovery Technology White Paper for three consecutive years. The content has become increasingly rich and forward-looking, thanks to Infinit’s technical reserves and practical experience. From introducing cloud disaster recovery concepts and services to recently launching the unified data management platform (i2UP), Infinit continues to expand disaster recovery’s scope and aligns with the data-driven business trend.

In today’s digital and intelligent world, security and business continuity are more critical than ever. Preparing in advance is not only vital for disaster recovery but also represents Infinit’s value.

I was fortunate to get an advance copy of this white paper and read through its 108 pages of valuable content in one sitting, gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the disaster recovery industry. From basic concepts to industry standards, technical schools, and future trends, the most precious part is the implementation of disaster recovery in mainstream industries such as finance, government, telecommunications, healthcare, education, and manufacturing. This is a panoramic view of disaster recovery technology. Currently, disaster recovery construction often becomes a neglected link in IT construction. Although IT incidents are low-probability events, they can be devastating. As IT technology becomes a corporate productivity driver and data a core asset, the importance of disaster recovery will continue to grow. There is no such thing as luck in this world; all we can do is “prepare in advance”!

In the digital business age focused on customers, a reliable and predictable technical infrastructure is essential, and disaster recovery is a key pillar and an important consideration for enterprise architecture data management. The rapid development of emerging technologies such as cloud-native, machine learning, edge computing, and blockchain continues to evolve the disaster recovery market and brings new challenges to enterprise technology decision-makers and practitioners. This white paper explores China’s disaster recovery industry development trends and practices from various perspectives, making it a beneficial exploration for popularizing disaster recovery knowledge and concepts.

After 9.11 and before the advent of cloud computing, disaster recovery has become a required course for enterprise IT. While 9.11 prompted enterprises with sufficient strength to accept the concept of two sites and three centers, the widespread distribution of cloud computing infrastructure has led some users to mistakenly believe that disaster recovery is no longer their concern. However, cloud service provider outages occur from physical disconnections to human errors. Therefore, considering business continuity and resource utilization, enterprises should adopt multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployment strategies and build effective disaster recovery systems. The “2019 China Disaster Recovery Industry White Paper” comes at an opportune time, and I hope it helps enterprises avoid business interruptions and data loss.

This white paper is also a textbook. Here, you will learn about decades of disaster recovery history, understand the current state of the industry, and gain insights into future trends. It is a collective结晶 of wisdom and the result of Infinit’s unwavering efforts. They combine practical experience to answer many questions about disaster recovery and data management, and I applaud them.

In the foreseeable future, the data security industry will witness rapid growth, and disaster recovery technology, as the last line of defense for data security, holds immense market potential. Currently, the primary concern of each data center and business system is the continuity of operations, encompassing business models, system support, and transmission efficiency, all of which fall within the scope of disaster recovery technology. In the future, every user or service provider will need to consider the importance of data, cost investment, and system compatibility, and this white paper offers valuable insights into these issues.
