Irrespective of the size of the business, disasters of different types and severity can occur in organizations. IT Managers cringe at the thought of IT disasters and business owners detest them because the business loses productivity, profitability and most importantly reputation, as the business continuity is stalled.

How many times have you heard business associates sharing a horror story such as, “Last night’s lighting  took our servers down,” or, “We had a spike, “ or, “The floor above us had a water leak”? The list goes on and on. The important issue to recognize is that today’s organizations have become so dependent on their IT infrastructure that it is essential the business has disaster recovery planning in place, in the event it is unlucky enough to experience a disaster.

You take out insurance to protect your health, property, car, etc, so why not invest in a plan to protect the technology that helps generate an income for your business?

A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is part of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP). A DRP is focused on IT. What IT systems are supporting the business and what procedures are in place to overcome sudden unexpected problems in relation to the IT infrastructure? Both these plans should be part of your strategic plan.

KBITS provides a full range of disaster recovery services and our Business Analysts will be happy to discuss key aspects of DRP such as high availability, redundancy, backup and recovery and more.
