High Availability is Not a Luxury

It's time for another “get real” moment. How is your organization doing in terms of disaster recovery and business continuity planning? Does your business know the true impact of down time?  Here's a quick way to figure out if your existing business continuity plan is leaving you exposed:

• If your plan requires significant manual intervention, you're exposed;
• If your plan accepts loss of data beyond a few seconds for critical systems, you're exposed
• If your plan cannot restore access to critical systems in minutes, you're exposed
• And, if your plan depends on 30-year old backup and recovery technology, you’re definitely exposed

Answer yes to any of these? What you do in terms of disaster recovery and business continuity planning matters to your organization…a lot. Yet many organizations choose to ignore the challenge. Don't ignore it. Review this analysis to get a better understanding of how you can eliminate application downtime.
