Significance of Business Continuity -
Disaster Recovery Planning
Business Continuity is simply the incessant provision of
operations and services to customers, united with continuous
accountability for key decisions. It requires more than
just data preservation and the restoration of data systems—an
entire plan must exist to maintain and restore the functions
of a business on every level, keeping it viable, functional,
and profitable.
It’s never been more critical to implement best practices
and make Business Continuity a core part of your company’s
culture. Today’s issues require comprehensive, enterprise
wide view of IT Strategy, farsighted strategies that identify
potential risks, include a detailed but accessible plan,
and incorporate thorough testing of that plan—while
addressing areas of data, applications, network connectivity,
business processes, and even human resources.
The core question of Business Continuity is of prime importance:
Will your company survive a catastrophe, or will it become
a casualty? Prior to an event, your company needs Operational
Resilience—a secure, resilient infrastructure, with
strong security and preventive services. In the aftermath,
the situation demands Disaster Recovery—asset recovery
and replacement, and the capacity to quickly and efficiently
restore the processes that make your business happen. And
an overarching necessity before, during, and after a business
catastrophe is Data Continuity—a solid plan for your
organization to follow, reliable network computing, and
the dependable ability to backup and restore crucial data.
