Threats to the IT infrastructure range from minor events (hard disk failures, loss of a server power supply, accidental data deletion) to the catastrophic (major blackout, hacker or terrorist attack, or natural disaster). Companies have recognized this threat to their operations and have almost universally implemented Disaster Recovery (DR) programs. These generally consist of a collection of procedures, IT assets, and recovery processes that can be deployed on very short notice. Aberdeen Group's research into over 100 organizations found that formal planning, keeping the DR plan current, and reporting against that plan were the most important factors in preventing business disruption; more important than the size of the company, the length of time they have had a DR program in place or the number of IT resources they have.Request Free!
