How valuable is the data? the loss of 1TB (1024GB) engineering data can cause up to 5 billion dollars in losses. Dongguan Tianan Digital City Entrepreneurship Business School recently invited many IT people to discuss data security. Wang Zijun, a doctor and entrepreneurial talent of the national Thousand talents Plan, said that the state will attach importance to data security from the central level, coupled with the promotion of smart cities across the country, will bring huge business opportunities to the data security industry.

Manual storage of data is common in enterprises

Fu Xiao, director of the Cloud Computing Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who came to participate in the discussion, said that since the Cloud Computing Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was established in Guangdong, it has dealt with many cases of enterprise data loss, and the loss is strange.

"the system is so complex that the loss of data always occurs at an unexpected time, place and scene." Fu Xiao said that data recovery is generally less than 100%, only 99.8%, and 0.2% of the data is impossible to recover. And some data can not be recovered locally, so we can only turn to headquarters.

Not paying attention to data security is more prominent in manufacturing enterprises. It is understood that enterprises and citizens in Dongguan are still very weak in their awareness of data security, most of which are copied to the hard disk manually. And a technician in an electronics factory said that their company really did not achieve too high-end data security maintenance, mostly using manual methods to back up data.

Dr. Wang Zijun said that at present, 90% of manufacturing enterprises use manual storage, that is, copying to removable hard drives.

"We may not think data backup is very important at ordinary times, but in the event of data loss or corruption, the companies that ask for help will let us do everything we can to recover all day long, and then it will be too late." I believe that there is no need to say more.

Great opportunities for disaster recovery data backup

"Firewall security is not equal to data security. Firewalls can prevent data from being stolen and robbed, but it cannot prevent fires, earthquakes, snow disasters and subjective operational errors." At the scene, Wang Zijun specifically mentioned "disaster recovery backup", that is, the backup of data in the event of an earthquake, fire or snow disaster.

"previous natural disaster losses only calculate material losses, not data losses." He cited an example of a forklift factory in the Wenchuan earthquake. In the earthquake, all the equipment of the forklift factory was destroyed! This is because all the forklift design parameters are stored in the CAD document, the earthquake makes all the data lost, causing a devastating blow to the enterprise.

"the production line can be rebuilt, but without accurate design parameters, it is useless no matter how advanced the production line is." Wang Zijun said that a foreign authority has done research that the loss of 1TB (1024GB) engineering data may cause losses as high as 5 billion US dollars. He said that as the system becomes more and more complex, data disaster recovery backup is the last guarantee of data security, and more and more people will pay attention to this industry.

According to an authoritative data, the annual expenditure on storage and backup software in China exceeded 8 billion yuan in 2013. If an enterprise can occupy 10% of the market in China, its annual sales will reach 800 million yuan. However, nearly 98% of the Chinese market is occupied by American products, and no Chinese storage and backup software manufacturer can enter the international market.

"the potential of China's data disaster recovery backup market is unlimited. This figure is said to be 8 billion, but I estimate that it is at least hundreds of billions." Wang Zijun said that IBM has done research, and with the advent of the big data era, by 2020, the amount of data generated in the world will be 44 times that of the current one. With the exposure of the US Prism Project, China has attached great importance to data security at the central level. In addition, the development of smart cities across the country will usher in huge business opportunities.

"there is no end to data security, and the future is a trend of domestic development, which is a great opportunity for the data backup industry." He said.

Disaster recovery and backup of "two places and three centers"

At the meeting, IT people called on enterprises to make more use of "two places and three centers" for disaster recovery. The so-called "two places and three centers" is a disaster preparedness model of double centers in the same city plus disaster preparedness centers in different places in the light of the large-scale natural disasters in China in recent years.

Dual centers in the same city refers to the establishment of two data centers in the same city or neighboring cities that can independently undertake the operation of key systems. The two centers have basically the same business processing capabilities and synchronize data in real time through high-speed links. Under daily circumstances, the operation of the business and management system can be shared at the same time, and the operation can be switched; in the case of disaster, emergency switching of disaster preparedness can be carried out without losing data, so as to keep the business running continuously.

Remote disaster preparedness center refers to the establishment of a backup disaster preparedness center in remote cities for dual-center data backup. When the two centers fail due to natural disasters and other reasons, remote disaster preparedness centers can use backup data for business recovery.

Mulang Technology's multi-backup enables data never to be lost by backing up data to multiple clouds, and can be recovered with one click when the data is destroyed, making it easy to "resurrect with blood in place". Its 55-second fast backup time has to be applauded. I believe that more backups will do better and better in data backup.
