CONTINUITY
Business Continuity planning provides the
next step in Disaster Recovery. It goes beyond
traditional data recovery and focuses on
developing critical contingency plans to be used
in the event of disasters or unexpected events. It
is a crucial component to mitigating unnecessary
chaos which can lead to further damage of your
business.
Business Continuity covers the risks most hazardous
to your business operations. The plan is initially
developed with a thorough audit of your business
and its operations, followed by a strategic outline
of how to proceed if disaster should strike. It also
includes a list of key personnel and their respective
responsibilities.
Why Business Continuity?
When an unexpected event shuts down part or all
of your operations, there is an increased potential
to miss hours, days, weeks or months of income
opportunities. A company that has to shut down
operations for an extended period of time may also
risk losing customers to competitors.
Businesses need a strong continuity plan that is
clearly understood and articulated across all areas
of the business. The benefits of Business Continuity
include:
•
Dramatically improved data recovery times,
allowing your operations to be up and running in a
matter of hours as opposed to days or weeks
•
Elimination of the dependency on people and
processes to ensure your data is backed up and
secure
•
Access systems from anywhere by including an
application delivery server
