Business Continuity Plan

For years disaster planning and recovery experts had asked their clients, “What would you do if you came to work one morning and your building was gone?” They asked this question because it was the worst case scenario. But many clients, and even the experts themselves, did not take this question seriously. All of that changed when terrorists flew two planes through the World Trade Center towers on Septemeber 11, 2001. Countless lives were lost that day. Less profound than the loss of lives, but serious nonetheless, hundreds of companies’ vital computer infrastructure was destroyed. The point is that U.S Businesses need to have a plan for disaster caused by natural or man-made disasters.

Obviously, it is impossible to thwart natural disasters. However, businesses can plan for them. Businesses can also take certain steps to reduce the risk of man-made disasters. The time to handle a disaster is before it occurs. A disaster recovery plan manages the policies, processes, and procedures for restoring the operations of businesses and its critical functions.
Ensuring that your information is backed up is very important, but it is of no use if the information systems for that data are not available. The ultimate systems recovery mechanism is a fully redundant system in a remote area. Since the information is backed up to a remote location, it allows the company to recover quickly.
