Golf Cart Insurance Quote
FREE Car Insurance Comparison
Secured with SHA-256 Encryption
Compare quotes from the top car insurance companies and save!
- Golf carts don't require the same insurance as the coverage that you must purchase for your car or truck
- In states where golf carts are permitted to be driven on public roads, you may be required to carry insurance
- If the golf cart is only able to go 15 miles per hour, you may have enough coverage under your home insurance
- Your home insurance liability coverage will cover claims if you injure someone or damage property in the golf cart
- If you have a speed-modified golf cart, it needs a special Low-Speed Vehicle auto insurance policy
Golf carts aren't just something that golf enthusiasts own. While these motorized carts are typically used on golf courses, they can also be maneuvered through neighborhoods and large resorts even when the owner has no intention of ever investing in golf clubs.
As a useful form of transportation in smaller communities, it's important for anyone who is going to buy a cart to price the cost of insurance on it.
Insurance can work in mysterious ways. For the average consumer, it's odd to learn that a home insurance policy may be enough to cover them while riding their golf carts.
Since the golf cart is more of a motorized car than it is any type of fixed property, the thought of it being covered under the home policy coverage can be surprising.
Compare quotes for insurance your golf cart by using our free rate comparison tool above. Enter your zip code to begin.
Before ever assuming that you're covered, you must know how golf cart coverage works:
Are you required by law to purchase golf cart insurance?
State law dictates who is required to buy insurance and how much insurance they are required to purchase.
When it comes to buying a car, every vehicle owner will have to maintain insurance on their car.
You have to have mandatory insurance when the vehicle is required to be registered. The rules work a bit differently with golf carts.
Whether or not you have to buy auto insurance on your golf cart depends on if it needs to be registered before it's operated. Not all golf carts have to be registered. The rules surrounding registering carts and insuring them will vary from state to state.
Typically, you only need to register your golf cart if it fits the state's definition of a Low-Speed Vehicle. The standard golf cart won't meet this definition but carts with motorized engines may.
Drivers can save $859/yr* by comparing car insurance
*based on a survey of 1,000 car insurance customers

These carts are treated similarly to ATVs, which have to also have a Low-Speed Vehicle registration. Here are state laws concerning golf carts used on public roads:
- Arizona – Golf carts are treated as motor vehicles when they are driven on public roads so they have to be titled, registered, and insured.
- Arkansas – No registration is required for golf carts when they are authorized to be driven on public streets.
- California – Golf carts modified to go faster than 15 mph will be classified as a regular motor vehicle and they must be registered and insured.
- Connecticut – The DMV will not register golf carts.
- Delaware – Golf carts do not need to be insured by law or registered and cannot be operated on public roads.
- Florida – When a golf cart is modified to go faster than 20 mph, it must be titled as a Low-Speed Vehicle and insured.
- Hawaii – Golf carts can't be licensed or issued tags so they should not be driven on public roads.
- Idaho – Golf carts are exempt from registration rules if they are being operated by a disabled driver.
- Iowa – Golf carts aren't subject to any registration provisions.
- Maine – Golf carts may be registered for four dollars per year and they may be operated on public streets with speed limits of 35 mph or less
- Maryland – No requirement to register or insure golf carts or other off-road vehicles.
- Massachusetts – No registration is required but all owners must carry liability insurance on their golf carts.
- Michigan – Golf carts must pass a "Road-Ready Inspection" and must be insured before being registered.
- Montana – Golf carts are exempt from titling, registration, and compulsory insurance provisions.
- Nevada – You must have a permit and insurance to operate your golf cart as a mode of general transportation.
- New Mexico – Golf carts the fit the definition of motorized vehicle must be licensed, registered, and insured.
- Ohio – Rules for insurance apply to anyone driving a golf cart on a public road.
- Pennsylvania – Golf carts are exempt from registration laws.
- South Carolina – Drivers must present a permit and proof of mandatory auto insurance.
- Tennessee – Golf carts must be modified to go over 20 mph before they can be registered as Low-Speed Vehicles and driven on public roads.
How are you covered under your property insurance?
If you have homeowners or a renter's insurance policy, you do have some coverage while you're driving your golf cart. While there is some coverage, there are a lot of limits to how much you're actually covered.
Only basic usage, similar to the usage of a riding lawn mower, would actually be covered.
If you're riding your golf cart around your property to drop off heavy items in the shed or you're at a company golf competition and you run over someone's foot, these forms of usage would be covered under your home policy.
It's when you use the cart on public roads or you have it modified to do speeds faster than 15 mph that you should start considering golf cart insurance and golf cart endorsements.
– What is a golf cart endorsement?
If you don't want a separate policy but you want more coverage than the standard home policy affords, you could add a golf cart endorsement to your property policy for a nominal fee.
You'll have liability protection if someone other than your household members is injured.
The endorsement also insures the third-party property. Only the following exclusions apply:
- Cart used to carry people for money
- Cart used for business purposes
- Carts driven in races
- Carts rented to others
- Carts operated by an unlicensed driver
- Carts driven outside of golf courses or limited access communities
Getting Golf Cart Insurance
When you buy your own golf cart insurance, you don't have to worry about all of the property insurance restrictions. You'll need an endorsed auto insurance policy that is designed specifically to cover ATVs and other Low-Speed Vehicles.
These policies are sold just like other car insurance policies and include at least liability coverage and physical damage coverage if you'd like it.
You should read through all of the policy exclusions and conditions before you ever decide which type of insurance is right for you. If you'd like the protection that won't affect your home policy in the future, buy a standalone golf cart insurance plan.

Tesco life insurance is no more, (what are the alternatives?)
Unfortunately, in 2017, Tesco decided to withdraw from the life insurance industry and stop offering policies to new customers.
Fellow supermarket giant Asda has since followed suit, removing their life insurance.
But all is not lost…
There are still a huge number of providers offering a wide range of products; one of which will meet your needs.
In this article, we'll run through the different characteristics of Tesco life insurance and what they mean.
Highlighting the good and the bad aspects, helping you find your perfect life insurance cover.
Existing Tesco life insurance customer?
If you're an existing Tesco life insurance customer there's no need to worry.
All Tesco life insurance policies were underwritten by FCA regulated third-party companies.
Simply identify the relevant one to you and contact them directly with your policy details.
Information on the various providers Tesco have used can be found at www.tescobank.com
Compare Life Insurance » Get Quotes From Major Insurers
Why Tesco life insurance?
As one of the UK's largest brands, Tesco are recognised by the public for their excellent customer service and reliability.
It was these elements of their brand, coupled with their awareness, which resulted in so many people looking to Tesco when arranging life insurance.
However, it's important to remember that Tesco life insurance as with Sainsbury's was a white label product. The actual protection was underwritten and provided by a third-party insurer.
Whilst usually one of the insurance market leaders, the particular provider used changed throughout Tesco's time in life insurance.
At Reassured, we compare a wide range of the UK's leading providers to secure you the best possible deal.
We'll not only compare those previously provided through Tesco, but also others to get you the most cost-effective cover.
Types of Tesco life insurance
The range of life insurance policies available in the market is extensive, however, Tesco only offered three:
- Level term
- Decreasing term
- Over 50s.
These are typically the three most common policies, and all involve paying a monthly premium.
Level and decreasing term policies provide cover for a pre-defined number of years (the term) and pay out if you die during the policy term.
Whereas an over 50s plan lasts for life, guaranteeing a pay out when you die.
This highlights the distinction between life insurance (if you pass away) and life assurance (when you pass away).
The pay out sum associated with both level term and over 50s life insurance remains fixed throughout the policy.
In contrast, the pay out from a decreasing term policy reduces over time, making it well suited to protect a repayment mortgage.
We offer a greater range of policy types
At Reassured, we're able to arrange not only the above policy types but also whole of life insurance and family income benefit.
But how do these policies differ?
Whilst over 50 plans don't require any medical information, whole of life can offer a larger sum assured, as the medical information required helps to reassure the insurer of the risk you pose.
Family income benefit provides on-going tax-free monthly payments to your family following your passing, as opposed to a one-off lump sum.
Using our broker service, we'll provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed decision on the right policy.
Saving you valuable time and money by comparing multiple quotes.
Compare Leading Life Insurers » Save Money
Over 50 Tesco life insurance
As mentioned above, Tesco previously offered over 50 life insurance.
These policies provide cover for life and don't require you to declare any medical information to ensure acceptance.
Tesco offered guaranteed acceptance between the ages of 50-80 which is commonplace, however, some policies offered through Reassured will offer the upper threshold of 85.
It's also common for over 50 plans to cease premium payments at a certain age, whilst allowing your cover to remain valid for life.
With Tesco, for example, once the policy has been in place for 30 years or after your 90th birthday (whichever comes first) you'll no longer be required to pay premiums.
The qualifying period for this benefit varies between insurers, making it important to compare policies to ensure you're receiving the perfect cover.
The cost of Tesco life insurance
Like all forms of term-based life insurance, the cost of your Tesco premiums were calculated using certain key information:
- Type of cover
- Amount of cover (sum assured)
- Medical wellbeing/history
- Smoking status
- Age
- Weight/BMI.
This helps estimate the likelihood of a claim and the cost of premiums are determined accordingly.
Tesco offered policies starting from as little as £5 a month, although this would heavily depend on the factors above.
They also offered fixed premiums, meaning that the price you pay each month would never change.
As opposed to reviewable premiums, which may be cheaper at first but which are subject to possible future price rises.
At Reassured, all policies we provide come with fixed premiums.
We offer cover from as little as 20p a day and can compare multiple quotes on your behalf (for free).
Joint Tesco life insurance
On average, taking out joint life insurance saves you around 25% on the cost of your premium.
However, importantly, only one pay out will ever be made, usually upon the first death.
Tesco life insurance, however, offered a 'replacement benefit'.
This means that if the first death occurred before the surviving partner turned 55, they could take out a new policy without further underwriting if done within 90 days of the claim.
This is beneficial because it doesn't leave the remaining partner without cover and having to secure a new policy at an older age.
Also offered through Tesco was a 'separation benefit'.
This meant that in the instance of a couple separating whilst having joint cover, they could split it into two single policies.
The premium would be adjusted accordingly, but it does mean that further underwriting wouldn't be necessary.
These benefits are not very common within life insurance and if they're important to you, you should discuss them during the application.
Tesco life insurance with critical illness
As with most policies, Tesco life insurance offered the chance to purchase critical illness cover at an extra cost.
This means that if you're diagnosed with a life-changing, but not terminal, illness you can make a claim.
Tesco's critical illness cover acted as a standalone product, meaning that it was possible to obtain two payouts; one on your critical illness and another on your life insurance.
However, this could become rather expensive, as you'll have two forms of cover in place, with two premiums two pay.
Other policies offer the opportunity to add critical illness as part of your life insurance, however, this means that only one pay out is made.
This option will be cheaper than having two standalone policies, but if you make a claim after falling critically ill your policy expires.
Compare Life Insurance Quotes » Find The Perfect Policy
Tesco life insurance with terminal illness
Nowadays it's commonplace for life insurance policies to come with terminal illness cover as standard; Tesco life insurance was no different.
This means if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness and predicted to pass away within 12 months you can make an early claim.
An early payout could be used as you wish; to settle your finances offering you peace of mind, make necessary home adaptations or simply to enjoy with your loved ones.
All policies provided through Reassured come with terminal illness cover at no additional cost.
Tesco's life change benefit
Most life insurance policies come with the opportunity to invoke a special events option.
This means that in certain circumstances you can increase your cover without the need for additional underwriting.
For example, buying a larger house or extending the family. At Tesco, this was referred to as a 'life-changing benefit'.
With one of their policies, it was possible to invoke this benefit and increase your cover by 100% or £200,000 (whichever was lower) without the need for additional underwriting provided you were under 55.
Proof of your life change would be required, and you must have applied for the benefit within 90 days of the change taking place.
Tesco's policies provided cover until the age of 91, but if the life-changing benefit was invoked, the policy terms would change, and cover would cease at 70.
As discussed, most life insurance policies offer the ability to make changes to your policy in the occurrence of certain events.
The specific terms, however, will differ between insurers.
Using a life insurance broker, like Reassured, allows you to discuss the terms of the different policies available, ensuring you get the right cover.
Free cover for Tesco life insurance parents
One, seemingly nice benefit with Tesco life insurance when it was available was the £10,000 free cover offered to parents until their child turned 1.
This deal isn't exclusive to Tesco and is still achievable through policies offered by Aviva and the Post Office.
However, whilst this may seem like a good idea, for the large majority of families a pay out of this size is unlikely to be sufficient to cover the loss of a parent.
As a result, it's best to arrange life insurance for the required cover amount as soon as possible after your little one is born.
This'll ensure your loved ones have the level of protection required.
Also, the sooner (younger) you are when arranging your life insurance, the lower your premiums will be.
Tesco life insurance summary
Whilst a super-brand, Tesco life insurance offered very little which can't be obtained through other insurers.
Throughout their period in the life insurance industry, they used a number of third-party insurers to underwrite their policies.
Some aspects were commonplace in the industry, whilst they also offered a number of specialist benefits such as the replacement benefit and free cover for parents.
Ultimately, it's always best to ensure you obtain the right cover to meet your specific needs, as opposed to buying cover based on brand recognition.

I had my second session of football training this evening. The first was two weeks ago but I missed last week due to a neck/shoulder injury which was earned while watching my team win 5-1 – I really must be more careful with my goal celebrations!
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I joined a football club for 'older' women who have never played before or who haven't played for a while. They have three levels so, having not kicked a football for 30 years, I joined the beginners session.
I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about it, but I figured that since there were no expectations in terms of ability, I should be just about ok.
The first session was a lot of fun. Everyone was really nice and made us newbies feel welcome and, most importantly, it didn't matter if we didn't know what we were doing – which is just as well.
The first half of the session involved basic skills, so passing, shooting, dribbling and taking throw-ins, which went pretty well as I discovered that I could still kick the ball at least.
For the second half, we played a 30 minute match, which was pretty exhausting! I was playing left-wing, which involved a lot of running to get the ball and then not having a clue what to do with it! But it was a good work out and I did manage to get a header and a few good tackles in.
This week, we were practising free kicks and corners, which really helped when it came to playing the match at the end. This time, I decided to play defence (right back), which suited me much better. I was still fairly hopeless but it meant that I didn't have to run so much and could think more about what I was doing. I even managed to win a few tackles and pass the ball to the right team a couple of times!
I know I still have a lot to learn about pretty much every aspect of the game, but it is a lot of fun and a great workout. The thing I like about it most though, is that while we all want to learn and improve, no-one takes it too seriously.
So, after years of thinking that I was too old to play the sport that I loved as a kid, I've finally realised that age is no excuse – if you want to do something, you should just go ahead and do it. Life is too short not to.
Do you do any sports other than running? Is there a sport that you used to do or always wanted to do but never got around to it? Please share your thoughts in the comments and, once you've done that, go and find out how you can get involved in whatever it is you'd like to do.

A brand new dog park is opening in Passaic.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at the Armory Park on Gregory Avenue on July 21 at 3 p.m.
The PetSafe® Armory Memorial Dog Park was made possible through the PetSafe® Bark for Your Park™ program, a grant program that provides funding to create safe, off-leash dog parks nationwide.
Passaic is one of 13 communities across the country to receive funding through the 2018 PetSafe® Bark for Your Park™ program.
Out of more than 120 applicants, the city was awarded a $25,000 grant to fund the construction of PetSafe® Armory Memorial Dog Park.
"We're thrilled to finally have our very first Dog Park in Passaic that will help ensure the pets live healthy, active lives, which can sometimes be a challenge in highly urbanized environments like Passaic where outdoor space is limited," Passaic Mayor Hector C. Lora said.
"The dog park will also promote community cohesion, as residents now have a place to meet and interact with fellow pet parents and their dogs."

Selina Christoforou aka @semc exposed Jake Paul on Instagram after he allegedly slid into her DMs.
In a since deleted Instagram post, Selina exposed the messages Jake Paul sent to her DMs where he offered to fly her out to come see him. This seems like pretty normal behavior for a 21-year-old YouTube star but Jake has a serious girlfriend! He's been dating fellow YouTuber Erika Costell for a while now and she might not be too pleased with those flirtatious messages her BF sent to another woman.
Fans initially didn't believe Selina when she posted screenshots which can easily be manufactured or photoshopped. The backlash prompted her to record her phone screen with another device to prove that she wasn't lying.
Neither of them has responded to the accusations but Jake did post a photo of the two lovebirds with a lengthy caption professing his love for Erika.

so much comes to my mind when i look at this picture… i don't even know where to begin really.. FIRST.. Erika ur hot af… but seriously tho this pic is just crazyyyy to me because I never EVER thought I'd fall for someone so hard at such an early age… in fact my love for her blind sided me.. the saying "if you're looking for love you'll never find it" is so true🙏🏼 this girl has changed my life in so manyyy different ways & I want everyone to know how much I love her❤we have been through so much together (both amazing & shitty) & yet it just makes us stronger every time💪🏼buttt the best is yet to come & im so proud to have her in my life.. & erika, hopefully you're reading this because… well… I'm your # 1 fan & I know you're mine… but…. this is a really long caption.. sooo if you're still reading this I love you & im gonna make you the happiest girl in the world❤thanks for changing my life… & who would've thought that such a beautiful girl would have ended up with me… @erikacostell i love u baby
Jake conveniently dropped the photo immediately after the news broke that Selina had accused him of creeping. Hmm, seems a little fishy.
Of course Jake Paul haters didn't need any further proof. Some fans are split on whether or not they believe the boxing champ actually sent those messages. Although Selena provided more receipts there's endless possibilities when it comes to technology like creating totally believable fake Direct Messages.
We all saw that Jake Paul was going to cheat again

But what is Disaster Recovery (DR) I hear you say? If you understand backup then you're halfway there but the difference between backup and DR is like the difference between running out of petrol and having your car written off. Both stop you from getting to your destination, but the latter is a lot more difficult and expensive to recover from.
Your data is the life-blood of your business – as valuable as cash. You employ professionals to help you manage your company's finances – why would you treat your data any differently?
What if it's too expensive?
Losing business data is one thing but what if your employees couldn't work for a day? Or worse, a whole week!? Once you start weighing up the costs, of not being open for business and include the possible damage to your reputation, you should then start to see the importance of implementing a solid DR plan.
What will DR do for me?
Having a DR plan in place means you're reducing the risk of downtime and mitigating loss of revenue which keeps you and your business, but more importantly your clients, happy.
But I already have a backup system in house…
A backup system is a great start but if it is manual, untested and located in the same location as your IT systems is it reliable enough to bet your business on? Any single point of failure whether that be hardware, software, personnel, connectivity or a power source is leaving you wide open to downtime. If disaster strikes, do you have a plan B?
When an emergency strikes your business, you need to be 100% confident that you can be back up and running as usual as quickly as possible. For more information on Disaster Recovery planning please speak to one of our experts.

County Durham
Alarming news from the North East. reported in the Northern Star. Updates will be added as they ocur on the UKFFFA site. Meanwhile, anyone in the area of the three authorities mentioned – please get in touch to ensure we are in direct contact. .
FLUORIDE could be added to drinking water across County Durham in a bid to cut tooth decay among children.
Members of Durham County Council's ruling Cabinet will be asked to vote next week on whether to carry out a full technical appraisal of a water fluoridisation scheme after an initial study showed it is believed to be feasible.
A report to go before the council says there are significant inequalities in oral health across County Durham, with 61 per cent of children suffering decay in the Woodhouse Close area of Bishop Auckland, compared to just six per cent in the Chester-le-Street South division.
The initial study found that it would be feasible to fluoridate drinking water across the whole of County Durham, but as it would also affect water to properties in neighbouring Sunderland and South Tyneside, all three local authorities would need to work together
At the next Cabinet meeting, which takes place on December 13 at the Town Hall in Durham, councillors will be asked to agree to a full technical appraisal, paid for by NHS England, Durham County Council and neighbouring authorities.
From Cynthia Bagchi
Nov 11
CENTRAL BEDS COUNCIL, we understand, has approximately just over 20% of its residents fluoridated. However, we have come to learn from Bedford Borough Council and Anglian Water that Pulloxhill, one of Central Beds original fluoride dosing stations (there are several), has not been in operation since 1996 but may soon come back into use
Further investigation reveals that PHE is relying on a contract made in 1971 by the then Bedfordshire County council as the local health authority and the Bedfordshire Water Board ( prioor to privatisation) and relate to a water treatment works subsequesntly replaced by a new site with a doifferent asset number but the same name. The orignnal contract was neveri activated, nor is t here evidence that it was renegoriated or reassigned. Cynthia and her associaates are pressing Mid Beds to justify their actiuon and mor legal advice is being sought.
Report from Parliament ( House of Lords)
This is one of a number of mentions of fluoridation recently, as recorded in Hansard. The occasion was a debate on some details of the bill setting up the new Greater Manchester Authority. There were also several references in a Lords debate on Oral Health. In each case, there were no dissenting or questioning voices from other noble Lords. There was also no positive action proposed, but it does illustrate the mind set of some of our Elders and Betters.
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath Shadow Spokesperson (Cabinet Office), Shadow Spokesperson (Education), Shadow Spokesperson (Health and Social Care) 3:56 pm, 25th January 2018
My Lords, it is a great pleasure to respond to my noble friend's debate. As my noble friend Lord Smith mentioned oral health in the north-west, I remind the House that I am president of the British Fluoridation Society, which of course is the answer, at a stroke, to the dreadful oral health issues among children in Greater Manchester and the north-west generally.
Declan Waugh has asked fellow scientists and citizens to sign on in support of his lettert o the auhtorities responsible for fluoridation in Ireland.
FAN, reporting on the letter describes..the extraordinary efforts of environmental scientist Declan Waugh:…over the last six years this remarkable man has been moving Irish mountains: he has written long reports; published scientific commentary and research studies in peer reviewed journals; written dozens of letters to the newspapers and politicians and scientists and to government bureaucrats. .
Declan Waugh writing to the Irish Southern Star
West Cork 7th January, 2018. SIR – In the week before Christmas, I submitted a document to the Irish and European authorities regarding the highly-controversial policy of mandatory fluoridation of drinking water supplies in Ireland.
This policy mandates by national legislation that citizens, residents and visitors to Ireland must consume fluoride in water and associated beverages and foods.
The document was co-signed by many respected academics, scientists, medical doctors, midwives, neurologists, psychologists, biochemists, molecular and cell biologists, toxicologists, nutritionists and experts in pediatric medicine; as well as historians, poets, educationalists, some of Ireland's leading food entrepreneurs and the cream of Irish songwriters, and musicians.
The latter group included Christy Moore, Declan Sinnott, Glen Hansard, Declan O'Rourke, Paul Brady, Sharon Shannon, Mary Black, Frances Black, Damien Dempsey, Steve Wall, Paddy Casey, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Fiachna Ó Braonáin, Jon Kenny, Steve Wickham, Jim Corr, Mary Coughlan, Paul Linehan, Ashley Keating, Mundy, Vyvienne Long, Juliet Feeney, Donal Lunny and Luka Bloom.
The document was also signed by multi-Oscar-nominated playwright and film director Jim Sheridan, author Patrick McCabe, Oscar-winning film producer David Puttnam and Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons as well as hundreds of citizens and parents across the length and breadth of Ireland.
The submission is seeking answers to specific questions from the authorities in the interests of transparency and accountability that the Irish State or its agencies has refused to address in the past and presents new evidence which demonstrates gross negligence and malpractice by the authorities on how this policy is governed in Ireland.
It is important to be aware that the day after this letter was submitted, Reuters reported that that a federal judge ruled that opponents of fluoridated drinking water in the USA can proceed with a lawsuit against the US Environmental Protection Agency under the Toxic Substances Control Act. The lawsuit by Food & Water Watch, the Fluoride Action Network and other groups relates to scientific evidence that fluoride that cause neurological damage to children.
If the Irish authorities don't adequately address the concerns expressed in our submission, we may be left with no option but to take similar legal action against elected politicians with responsibility for the governance of our State and public sector employees with responsibility for water services, food safety and public health, to ensure that they comply with their obligations with respect to the health, safety and welfare of Irish citizens.
Yours sincerely,
Declan Waugh,
Scientist & Risk Management Consultant,
11 Riverview, Bandon.

Backup and disaster recovery has been a thorn in the side of IT departments everywhere since data has existed. There is absolutely no substitute for having a robust backup and disaster recovery (BDR) plan and solution for all your critical data. When something goes wrong, no matter how big or small the disaster, the ability to recover quickly and completely makes all that investment of time and resources worthwhile.
IT budgets are tight, however, and other priorities often trump BDR. This means that IT frequently has to settle for a BDR strategy that doesn't fully meet its needs, sacrificing recovery point objectives (RPO), recovery time objectives (RTO) and peace of mind to find something that fits the budget.
This budget-functionality trade-off has kept IT directors up at night for years, but it shouldn't – not anymore. By now, you've no doubt heard of self-protecting storage. As the name implies, at its most basic it is enterprise storage that has data protection, backup and recovery functionality built in. It can offer a great option for organizations of all types and sizes that are looking for secure, high-performing BDR, but are short on time and resources. Put another way: every organization on earth.
There are two reasons why self-protecting storage may be the solution of the future and two reasons why your company is probably ready to dive in.
1. Business buy-in
There has never been a business imperative that requests IT spend more money and time on BDR. C-level executives want IT busy solving business problems and making the organization more efficient. The only time they want to hear about BDR is in a sentence like, "We had an outage, but our BDR plan worked perfectly, so we had no data loss and no down time."
With self-protecting storage, there are no extra line items or management requirements for different solutions and vendors. All BDR needs are taken care of as part of the storage package, making it easy for the business side to say yes.
2. It's already here
During a recent webinar, Storage Swiss asked participants what technologies they were considering to complement existing BDR solutions. Seventy percent indicated either self-protecting storage or copy data management (which often includes self-protecting storage). On the other end of the results, only 10 percent of respondents indicated they were happy with their current BDR and weren't considering any other options.
This survey, while a small sample, illustrates two important points: first, few companies are content with their current BDR setup; second, they are already considering self-protecting storage options. Self-protecting storage isn't the future. It's already here.
Now that we've answered the question of whether self-protecting storage is the future, let's look at the question that you probably care more about: is your organization ready for it? You'll be happy to hear that the answer is probably also, "Yes."
1. It's flexible.
By using an enterprise storage service your backup and data recovery options become as flexible as storing your data. With cloud-based or hybrid cloud models, there is no reason to procure expensive pools of storage that need to be managed, upgraded and expanded as your business changes. Hybrid cloud options give you the performance, low latency and availability your users require, with the cost and other benefits you expect from the cloud.
Organizations have been utilizing the cloud for some time now, so that model isn't new. By adding BDR functionality, organizations can work with a technology they're familiar with and trust, minimizing buy-in and ramp-up time.
2. It's available as a service.
The next item that makes self-protecting storage particularly attractive is the fact that it's available as a service. A fully managed service that delivers on-demand primary storage with built-in offsite BDR let's your organization take that much more off IT's plate, at a competitive cost.
What's more, it also allows organizations to eliminate their secondary BDR infrastructure, backup licenses and management requirements. Basically, your data is backed up and protected automatically, with virtually no extra IT effort.
IT departments have long faced a Sophie's Choice: place less emphasis on BDR to save time and resources, or invest in it at the expense of other initiatives. Either way, it was tough to get the BDR you needed to feel, and be, secure in case of an outage. Self-protecting storage offers a real solution to this age-old problem. It's not just a pie-in-the-sky vision, either. It's here now, and your company is ready.
