Disaster
Recovery

Disaster recovery planning is the mechanism by which technology related disasters are anticipated and addressed.  Effective planning encompasses multiple factors, including the types of "disaster events" to be addressed, as well as related needs and capabilities for recovery and response.  To do a good job, you need to understand business needs, technical needs, organizational objectives and the overall substance of the strategic IT vision.

Some of the commonly experienced disasters are-

• Unexpected problem resulting into slowdown, interruption or failure in a key system or network.

• Natural disasters (i.e. fire, earthquake, hurricane…)

• Technology failures, malicious acts, incompatibilities, or simple human error

• Service outages, connectivity failures, data loss.
