A well planned datacenter, business continuity and disaster recovery solutions are critical for an organization operating in a 24 x 7 environment. Minimal disruption is the goal of today’s organizations when faced with planned or unplanned outages. In today’s environment, the effects of long term operations outage may have a catastrophic impact as well as a significant reputation and financial risk. The development of a viable recovery strategy must, therefore, be a product of not only of the organizations service provider of data processing, communication and data centre operations services, but also the users of those services and management personnel who have responsibility for the protection of organizational assets – particularly the organizations information asset.
