A System failure can occur at any time. Whether the cause is an environmental disaster or critical server failure, your company´s ongoing business operations are dependent on a comprehensive disaster recovery / business continuity plan. Protecting the company´s data and minimizing costly downtime is paramount in reducing the costly effects that system failures can have on daily operations.

The value that a comprehensive disaster recovery / business continuity plan brings to a company is priceless, especially in the event of a disaster. Regardless of the size of the organization, understanding and documenting its IT systems and knowing how to react preemptively, is the key determining factor to staying operational in the event of a system failure. On a less drastic scale, knowing how to respond when a critical server goes offline can be equally important. System outages never occur at a convenient time and being prepared is a wise business decision and well worth the modest cost of a disaster recovery plan.

The Process

The first step to preparing a Netology Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Plan is to commission a Netology´s “Enterprise Audit and Needs Analysis” – EANA. Netology´s EANA identifies and documents your company´s IT processes, components and procedures and is designed as a starting point for Netology´s Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Plans. An EANA analysis will document company Servers, Applications, Network, Backup Operation and the Functionality for Remote Users.

Once the “Enterprise Audit and Needs Analysis” phase is complete, Netology can proceed with the development of your company´s Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Plan. All Netology plans follow industry defined Best Practices and include an assessment of a broad range of potentially serious problems, development of plans for all disaster scenarios, testing of all recovery strategies, training of personnel and plan maintenance.
