Is Your Business Ready for Disaster Recovery?

Around two thirds of Irish businesses do not have a disaster recovery plan in place. If a major event happened such as hardware failure, mass data corruption, user error, or natural disaster, and you don’t have a plan, then your data could be lost forever.

Such events, whether you have one site, or multiple sites serviced by a centralised IT infrastructure, can interrupt business continuity. And in these economic times, not being able to trade for any period due to failing to plan for potential IT system collapse or catastrophic events can prove disastrous.

Business continuity is now firmly placed at the forefront of business IT strategies and disaster recovery has achieved awareness through to all levels of management up to and including the CEO.

The main elements of a successful business continuity strategy include:

• Disaster recovery plan.
• Data Protection.
• Preventive measures including monitoring and platform redundancy.
• Ensuring Application availability and planning for it.
• Effective personnel plans to ensure successful implementation of the disaster recovery plan.
