| Disaster recovery has a
different meaning to different organizations. To some organizations it means
protection from emergencies; to other organizations it means limiting
downtime. The definition usually depends on the amount of resources an
organization is willing to commit to obtain its disaster recovery objectives
and the extent to which an organization will go to protect its mission
critical data. In one corner of a matrix a disaster can be a failed hard
drive in a server; in the opposite corner of the matrix, a natural or
unnatural disaster can be the annihilation of the building that houses your
servers and even your company. In the latter case not only are the data
gone but also your human resources and your physical assets. The first
question you must decide is at what level do you want to prepare for
disaster recovery. While we do not play in the arena of mirrored data centers, and while we do not offer off-site data storage, we can help you assess the level of redundancy that will offer your organization an acceptable comfort level. Small businesses will find it sufficient to have a backup strategy to include monthly monitoring and off-site media storage. Medium size businesses will consider redundant file servers or clustered servers such that the mirrored server will seamlessly take over the responsibilities of the failed server. We can help you size your backup strategy with respect to cost, time to execute and time to monitor and test.
