Four Steps To Disaster Recovery And Business Continuity Using iSCSI
•White Paper: Four Steps To Disaster Recovery And Business Continuity
Disaster recovery (D/R) is all about getting back to business as quickly as possible after a failure or error. But your ability to recover is directly tied to what you have done before a disaster occurs – your business continuity plans. Once trouble hits, it's too late. You need a business continuity plan that balances potential business losses against the cost of minimizing those losses. You must understand your business needs, potential disruptions, and loss tolerance in order to prepare responsibly. With that knowledge and an understanding of technology options available today, you can design your environment to avoid disasters (for example, using redundancy and hot-serviceable components) as well as develop a disaster recovery plan that's right for you.
There are four key steps to developing solid business continuity plans and ensuring rapid disaster recovery:
- Identify your needs and define what business continuity means to you
- Determine and document your recovery objectives
- Evaluate technologies that support your strategy
- Implement and test the technologies best suited to your requirements
