Data Center Disaster
Recovery
Data Center Disaster Recovery is
smart business no matter what industry you are in. Think about these
stats for a minute.
It costs the average
Fortune 500 corporation $50,000 per minute of downtime (IBM).
The average hourly
revenue lost from downtime is $78,000 and 355 worker hours are lost
for each hour of unscheduled downtime (Disaster Recovery Journal).
43% of enterprises
that sustain a major disaster never reopen (Wall Street
Journal).
Data Center Disaster Recovery –
the Heart of organizational knowledge!
Data centers are the
heart of most companies today. If and when this resource is
compromised -- whether by hardware failure, software failure, data
corruption, or data loss -- a company faces severe potential losses
unless a robust contingency plan is already in place.
Data Center Disaster Recovery –
Enterprise-wide
An organization-wide
Disaster recovery strategy provides many benefits. Perhaps the most
important, direct, and measurable benefit is that such a strategy
will minimize financial losses in the face of any type of disaster.
Having a solid,
well-tested plan in place will help to restore IT and
telecommunications infrastructures quickly in order to minimize
interruptions for personnel, suppliers, vendors, partners,
investors, and customers.
Such fast restoration
would not only preserve but also strengthen the company's reputation
and professional standing in the business community.
