Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity
Q: How can you ensure that you don't suffer from downtime?
A: You can buy two of everything. Of course, you need to keep the pair apart so they can't be hit by the same disaster.
Or
A: You can build resilience into everything you do. Spread your resources, mirror everything you do, trade in different cities, in different time zones. What's the size of your budget?
Or
A: You can buy things that don't fail in the first place. How many of those do you know of?
Of course the answer is that protection against downtime has to be balanced against the cost. There comes a point where the expense of resilience is greater in value than the business or asset you are protecting.
You need to know what your risks are. What the impact of failure could be. How to protect and defend against interruption. How to avoid failure. How to continue.
Business resilience and continuity is all about weighing risks with cost. The more you spend the shorter the downtime right? Wrong.
There are ways to increase resilience without it costing a fortune:
- Blend high availability with disaster recovery.
- Provide guaranteed service at standard recovery prices.
- Build total resiliency into all solution at no extra cost.
