How current and complete is your company’s Business Continuity Plan (BCP) or Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)? Business Continuity Planning & DRP ensure your company can continue to operate with minimal downtime in the event your office or equipment should suffer an unforeseen event. Most companies’ IT departments don’t have the manpower or the experience to create a comprehensive Business Continuity Planning & DRP. A Disaster Recovery Plan is an insurance policy; this ensures your company’s livelihood should a catastrophe strike. Your company has taken years to build a client base and significant downtime during which you cannot service your clients could mean your customers may need to go elsewhere for service.
Business continuity planning and disaster recovery are solutions even if your building was lost in some catastrophe, the next day your employees can continue to work remotely with no loss of email capabilities, access to data or databases.
A Disaster Recovery Plan sometimes referred to as a Disaster Resource Plan is more than simply ensuring some servers, backup devices, workstations, and software are available at an alternate location. Your telecom or phone reroutes and accessibility is just as essential as computer resources. An essential component of the IT business continuity disaster recovery plan is the system documentation and recovery strategy ensuring critical business functions can resume as quickly as possible. A good business continuity strategy also implements preventative measures to eliminate potential system disasters before they occur.
In the event you are denied access to your building or the equipment therein, you will need a ‘hot site’ available for continuing business. Most companies are completely dependent on the Internet for e-mail, web services, ftp access and other means of data communication with clients and vendors. Companies with more than one office frequently require direct WAN connectivity to those sites. Should those remote sites’ Internet connectivity go through your headquarters, they will require an alternate means of gaining Internet access in the event your headquarters is the disaster has occurred. WAN and Internet installation typically take at least 30 days from the service provider; a failover internet service or load balancing internet provisioning can help should the need arise.
