IT Disaster Recovery (IT DR) refers to the processes, policies and procedures related to preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure after a disruption or disaster. Most IT DR plans look to ensure that core, high-priority operations continue or at least resume within an acceptable time after a disaster.
Implementation of IT Disaster Recovery involves resilience of the entire Technology chain that supports critical applications, including:
- Data Centres, Workstations, Desktops, Laptops and other computing equipment
- Data and other information
- Servers and routers
- Networks and Telecom infrastructure
Why IT Disaster Recovery:
IT is the backbone of every business. An IT disaster can cause a company wide disruption. Per Gartner, 2 out of 5 organizations that experience a severe disaster go out of business within five years.
Most organizations are now critically dependent on IT. The fact is that no business is immune to disasters, which can strike at any time, often without prior notice, and at the worst possible time. And when the IT fails down, most organizations are unable to function. At best, a severe disaster could merely incapacitate a business, allowing it to crawl back to normalcy over a period of time. At worst, the business can be permanently crippled, or may even shut down.
Even loss of the data can bring the organization to a standstill – not to mention other implications such as fines, regulatory sanction etc. IT Disaster Recovery is all the more critical for any organization, due to regulations and corporate governance implications that exist now in most professionally managed organizations. In most organizations, the processes that deliver products and services depend on information and communication technology (ICT).
ICT continuity management supports the overall business continuity management (BCM) process of an organization. BCM ensures that your organization’s processes are protected from disruption and is able to respond positively and effectively when disruption occurs.
