Will your business keep running if the lights go out? Implementing contingent controls is an important but sometimes overlooked aspect of ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery.
Getting money for a data center disaster recovery plan is difficult enough; when the economy goes soft, it gets harder.
The disaster recovery (DR)/ business continuity (BC) process encompasses many different activities. One of the most important areas to be addressed — often as a secondary activity — is disaster recovery documentation.
If you have been assigned the task of determining what type of failover or disaster recovery site is required to respond to your organization’s disaster recovery (DR) program, then you know there are a number of vendors and options (hot, cold and warm sites) available with a wide range of prices. But which one is right for your company?
In an instant — a fire, flood or hurricane can erase years of business operations. Most companies have thought about how they would manage in the event of a disaster; and some have even taken steps to prepare. But one disaster recovery priority companies often overlook is how fast they can restore critical digital content.
Disaster recovery (DR) budget preparation is time-consuming, but with the right tools, the budgeting process for disaster recovery and business continuity (BC) programs can be less intimidating.
You need only take a quick look at the news on any given day to remind you of why your company needs a disaster recovery plan. Chances are, you won’t ever experience a Level Four disaster, such as a terrorist bombing or natural disaster such as a hurricane or flood. But even the smaller-scale Level One, Two, or Three disasters that you’ll more likely encounter, such as power outages and server malfunctions, can paralyze business operations unless you’ve developed a plan for rapidly restoring IT services.
For many small companies, email is the lifeblood of their business, yet too few protect it adequately against disaster. Not only is email their primary mode of communication, it’s also often a de facto document management system, a searchable repository of vital business data.
Cloud computing means many things, but almost all definitions include some key value propositions: scalable on-demand resources, a metered pay-per-use model, access over the Internet, and infrastructure management and optimization that is better than most data centers.
Protecting enormous volumes of data from disasters, complying with complex regulations, controlling rapid data growth, and managing geographically dispersed data centers can all take their toll on small to midsized enterprises.
Four Philippines IT executives reveal some of the IT adjustments they did as a result of the recent calamities and share strategies in preparing for disasters, as well as the challenges that will be met along the way.
