Outsourcing disaster
recovery InfoWorld – There was a recent forum conducted by InfoWorld
and focused on outsourcing disaster recovery, which also held ones
interest for a longer than usual period. A couple of interesting
tidbits from that forum related here.
Outsourcing disaster
recovery InfoWorld - unavailability
Businesses should
assess the potential impact of "unavailability" when considering
continuity solutions: What would happen to the business if an
application were unavailable, if a database was found to be corrupt,
or if users could not get access?
Businesses should then
evaluate available options that can ensure greater availability,
assessing how they will work with the existing infrastructure, and
minimizing the impact to current operations while incrementally
adding business continuity.
Outsourcing disaster
recovery InfoWorld – long term
survival
Recent studies have
shown that without proper business continuity planning, the
long-term survival of the enterprise may be put at risk in the case
of an IT disaster.
Disasters take all
sorts of forms beyond the obvious flood/fire/natural/terrorism and
such, more often being a result of bugs in applications and human
error that may either directly impact availability or corrupt a
database.
The key becomes how
quickly the enterprise can recover, with data
integrity.
