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?
