Disaster Recovery
You can view Disaster Recovery planning as part of an overall contingency plan that allows your enterprise to restore any loss of data in the event of fire, vandalism, natural disaster, or system failure. A disaster can be something as catastrophic as a natural disaster, like Hurricane Katrina, or it can be something more mundane and more typical, like an application, database, or network outage.
Regardless of its cause, you know that your mission-critical applications cannot fail since downtime can quickly translate into lost data and adversely impact your company's finances. Oftentimes, your applications didn't start out as mission critical. Instead, they've grown over the years and become a main line application for your business. Unfortunately, many companies that experience a disaster do not recover from the financial impact. That's why Disaster Recovery planning is so crucial. Every IT implementation needs a built-in disaster recovery plan to protect the investment and prevent the business from becoming a casualty.
Those companies who have a formal Disaster Recovery plan mitigate the risk of losses by ensuring their mission-critical databases are highly available. Typically, homegrown Disaster Recovery plans do not provide the right protection and can impact the long-term viability of your environment.
