Disaster Recovery Assessment and Approach
The word ‘disaster’ suggests visions of mudslides and hurricanes, but for your business, a disaster could be a fire in the office space next door, a burst water pipe, or local power outage to name a few. Your business can minimize the effects of these more common types of disasters by ensuring you have a solid, executable disaster recovery plan in place.
Disaster recovery is much more extensive than backing up data offsite. Short- and long-term business continuity is assured through proper attention to disaster recovery plans that include detailed escalation processes, employee communication trees, public communication plans, actual data restoration or replication, alternative network access, recovery location considerations, etc. The key to business continuity is your organization’s confidence level. Confidence is created through the understanding of internal and external risks, satisfaction with risk avoidance, investment level in recovery aspects, and your ability to execute the disaster recovery plan.
There are many options for mitigating risk and many levels of investment. Which options are best suited to your business and how much should you invest? The first step to answering this question is a disaster recovery assessment. UbiStor can provide your business with an assessment that identifies risks, missing recovery pieces, and appropriate solutions including UbiStor’s aligned service offerings.
