Disaster
Recovery
& Business Resumption - recovering
centralized data centers following a catastrophe, either natural or
man-made
Continuous
Availability
- achieve a state
of business continuity, where critical systems and networks are always
available. To attain and sustain business continuity, companies must
engineer availability, security and reliability into every process from
the outset.
Information technology is inseparably
intertwined with critical business processes. However, the requirements to
maintain, protect and recover IT have become increasingly complex.

Disaster recovery planning
is not a two-month
project, neither is it a project that once completed, you can forget
about. An effective recovery plan is a live recovery plan. The plan
must be maintained current and tested/exercised regularly.

Resource Requirements
The primary objective of a
Business Resumption Plan is to enable an organization to survive a
disaster and to reestablish normal business operations. In order to
survive, the organization must assure that critical operations can resume
normal processing within a reasonable time frame. Therefore, the goals of
the Business Resumption Plan should be to:
Identify weaknesses and implement a disaster prevention program;
minimize the duration of a serious disruption to
business operations;
facilitate effective co-ordination of recovery
tasks; and
reduce the complexity of the recovery effort.
The successful and cost
effective completion of such a project requires the close cooperation of
management from all areas of Information Systems as well as business areas
supported by Information Systems. Senior personnel from Information
Systems and user areas must be significantly involved throughout the
project for the planning process to be successful. The aim of the planning process is to:
|
assess existing vulnerabilities;
|
|
|
implement disaster avoidance and prevention
procedures;
|
|
|
develop a comprehensive plan that will enable the
organization to react appropriately and in a timely manner if disaster strikes.
