Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans are critical to business, but are far too often overlooked or referred to as a "something we would like to have". A successful business anticipates the unexpected and plans for it.

Disasters can be defined as anything that can result in an inability to use core IT infrastructure or electrical systems. e.g. fire, sewage leak, acid or gas leaks, burst water mains, natural disasters, data corruption, theft of data or equipment, virus infection, hacker intrusions and so forth. The results are always the same: Revenue and profit loss, loss in staff productivity and on occasion, insolvency.

While no one can plan for every disaster, you should do all that you can to minimize the risk of system and service unavailability to your business. AMD IT Solutions will work with your organisation to develop a reliable and effective Business Continuity Plan which will help you rapidly recover in a disaster situation

Key Questions to ask of your business.

In the event of a natural disaster, serious virus infection, theft of equipment, electrical failure or other major failure:
  • To what capacity, can your business units function without core IT Systems?
  • How long will it take to get core operations up and running again?
  • How much loss in revenue and profit will it cost the business per day?
  • How much market share will be lost?
  • How old is the most current backed up data: (1 day, 1 week, 1 month)?
  • Is there a warm site?
  • How many staff will be laid off and for what timeframe?
