Disaster Recovery Planing
Summary:
Your company's ability to recover is a high priority. In a survey by Contingency Planning & Management Magazine of 1437 contingency planners, 76% indicated that their organizations had reviewed their recovery/continuity plans, 10% have completely overhauled their plans, and 52% have made some changes since September 11. The question has changed from "can we recover?" to "how fast can we recover?"
A good Disaster Recovery plan is an essential step to recovery. This white paper combines LXI's expertise in technology and services to offer you ways to assess, adjust and improve your company's Disaster Recovery plan.
Expectations regarding data availability have changed. There are many terms used to describe a company's overall data protection strategy: high availability, business resumption and business continuity. Often these terms are used interchangeably when in fact; each one represents a completely different set of concepts, procedures, and principles.
It is important to clarify the differences so that everyone's expectations are based on the same general assumptions regarding the deliverables of each type of plan. A Disaster Recovery plan lays out the procedures, steps, people, places, equipment, and priorities necessary to restore damaged or destroyed computer systems, as well as the peripheral infrastructure to resume business operations after an outage. High availability uses technology, such as hardware devices or software products, to provide a continuous copy/replication of production data from a primary system/location to a secondary systems/location. A high
availability solution provides 24/7 access to production data. This allows users to be switched to a secondary system when the primary system is down. Like the high availability solution, backup solutions also utilize software and hardware technologies to provide the quickest recovery for the entire system.
