Reference Architecture

The disaster recovery workshop is a series of sessions identifying and parsing out the requirements to sustaining business in the event of a disaster, and will serve to provide the right disaster recovery solution at the right price.

Multiple scenarios are defined, from localized element failure to regional catastrophes. 

Business impact outage tolerances are mapped to resiliency designs. 

Disaster recovery policies are defined and published. 

Workplace personnel are identified with roles and responsibilities defined. 

Disaster activation process with key personnel authorized to declare disasters are identified.   

A disaster recovery theory of operations is developed in concert with IT staff, management, and executive participation.

The strategic deployment of disaster recovery tools and capabilities uncovers innate production efficiency leverage points, accelerating ROI while protecting your investments. 

For example, any-to-any data replication appliances prevent you from being locked into a specific platform, while virtualized asset repurposing with database clones allows parallel processing, time of day processing, and priority repurposing of alternate site server resources during a disaster.
