There are risks and problems that consistency models pose to any organization using traditional, or modern, data-protection and recovery solutions. Unfortunately, there is a tremendous lack of awareness and understanding about this topic. Vendors offer traditional and modern methods for data protection and recovery solutions. They provide quick restore of a VM or data with a feature often called Instant Recovery. The goal is to minimize downtime, known as the Recovery Time Objective (RTO). However, the restoration workflow and implementation is different depending on the vendor and customer’s infrastructure.
