Beyond Basic Back Up...Disaster Recovery Continuum

Overview:

Disruptive events don't have to be a major disaster to wipe out your business. They can be anything from a relatively minor malfunctioning network card to a devastating event such as a sudden regional disaster that not only destroys your data center but also shuts down surrounding roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

When businesses take adequate protective measures, they can survive even major disasters. But without protective measures, a business can be wiped out by something as trivial as a coffee spill.

View this on-demand TechRepublic Webcast, moderated by James Hilliard and sponsored by CA XOsoft, with IT expert Frank Jablonski to learn about the need for and how to implement a service disruption continuum beyond basic back-up. You'll also learn:

• The definition of a disruptive event based on the scope of its business interruption
• The impact to business of disrupted services, including data loss/corruption and what data protection measures should be available to mitigate the disruption
• The difference between high-availability problem domains versus a disaster-recovery problem domain and moving beyond those two categories in some disruptive events
• The need for a new model--the service disruption continuum, which addresses the issues related to preserving or restoring service both during and after a disruptive event
• The benefits of the continuum, including the ability for an organization to analyze risks, investigate approaches and implement solutions without being bound by misleading domain boundaries
