Disaster Recovery has assumed an increasingly critical aspect in IT planning and accounts for 20-25% of IT computing expenses.
Having the right disaster recovery plan
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) delineates how an organization will respond to any given disaster scenario, with the goal of supporting time-sensitive business processes and functions, and maintaining full business continuity.
A disaster recovery plan typically includes:
- Emergency procedures IT staff can carry out when a disaster occurs
Business critical IT assets and their maximum allowed outage time
Tools or technologies that should be used for recovery
A disaster recovery team, their contact information and communication procedures
What are the types of disaster recovery?
Businesses can choose from a variety of disaster recovery methods, or combine several:
Back-up
The simplest type of disaster recovery and entails storing data off site or on a removable drive. It provide very little business continuity as the infrastructure is not available.
Cold Site
Cold sites are unused until a disaster occurs. An alternate site with basic or little infrastructure from where users can shift to if the primary sites faces a disaster situation.
Hot Site
A hot backup has equipment set up with current data available all the time. These sites are expensive to setup but reduce down time to minimal. A hot site is the better option for mission-critical data.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Service provider moves the client computer processing to their own servers. Client users are able to work seamlessly from the same location.
Back Up as a Service
Backup as a service (BaaS) is a modern alternative to traditional data backup approaches. It is a method of offsite data storage in which entire contents of a hard drive are regularly backed up by a service vendor and is available whenever required.
Datacenter disaster recovery
The physical elements of a data center can protect data and contribute to faster disaster recovery in certain types of disasters
