With a potentially historic blizzard threatening parts of the Northeast, it?s a good day to review your disaster recovery and business continuity plans. As part of Data Center Knowledge?s Industry Perspectives?feature, disaster recovery expert Richard Dolewski has written a series of comprehensive articles on disaster recovery planning and strategy that provides guidance and tips for all who face business continuity issues.
Disaster Recovery Scenario: Stick to the Plan?-?No one likes disasters and downtime. Prudent operations managers have business continuity plans that can assist in a crisis and support organizational priorities and goals as well.
Health Check For Your Disaster Recovery Plan ? Just as a health checkup can point out areas where your body is not operating at its peak, your Disaster Recovery Plan needs a regular review to make sure your IT systems and staff are fully prepared for any disaster that may occur.
Disaster Recovery Plans: Practice Makes Perfect ? Once you?ve developed and implemented a Disaster Recovery Plan, your job is just beginning; you must test it ? not just once, but regularly ? to reflect the changing dynamics of your computing environment.
We?ll also pose a question to our readers with expertise on disaster recovery: What are the special considerations for dealing with a major snow event? How does the checklist for a blizzard differ from other types of disasters? Share your thoughts and expertise in the comment section.
