Top Data Center Disaster Recovery Issues
Generally, when someone hears the term “disaster recovery,” the vision in their minds is one of a smoking hole in the ground where the data center used to be. While certainly a valid concern and image, these types of disasters do not occur very often. Thus, their importance in the mind of the data center manager should be tempered by thoughts of the more likely disaster scenarios that can occur.
What are the more likely disasters that can occur in the data center? In no particular order:
- Mission-critical application server suffers a catastrophic failure, rendering it useless for days.
- Network failure results in the inability of a business to communicate with the outside world.
- Network intrusion results in data loss or application outage.
- Disgruntled employee destroys data.
- Infrastructure failure results in the loss of systems and/or data.
