A Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plan should address four key components of any business:
1) People
2) Process
3) Resources
4) Technology
Both, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery are proactive methodical processesto be deployed enterprise-wideto identify, manage and mitigate the risks or threats to an organization and get business on track after a disaster.
Disaster recovery is a sub-set of business continuity. Businesses which fail to estimate their business plan for disaster have to face the five consequences of
Decreased employee productivity (62%)Data loss (43%)Reduction in profits (40%)Damage to customer relationships (38%)Reduction in revenue (27%)
Secure back up and migration of computing resources to virtual environment help in maintaining primary business functions, IT infrastructure, corporate support functions, along with voice and data communication. Virtualization of IT infrastructure is sometimes, referred to as VPS solutions. Virtualization increases the overall viability of a business unit. These deploy best of the breed hypervisor which ensure Fault Tolerance and High Availability of resources.
Understanding the need of a proper business continuity plan, Indian VPS solution providers offer holistic disaster recovery services. These span the following areas:
IT Recovery:This section caters to the recovery of basic hardware replacement and disaster recovery of computing resources.
Work Area Recovery:It focuses on retaining employee productivity after a crisis. It caters to the technological, environmental and infrastructure needs of an organization during the recovery stage. This section also aims to keep tabs on revenue losses during recovery phases and aids in the regulation of acquiescence requirements.
Crisis Management and Response:Under this section, crisis is managed and recovery is initiated through infrastructure reforestation, replacement, employee assistance and crisis connections.
VPS solutions improve business continuity by increasing the availability of hardware and applications. This higher availability is the subset of disaster recovery. The downtimes are reduced to negligible time period and recovery span increases significantly. The continuation of services is not interrupted even in the scheduled downtimes. Live migration of virtual disks is also possible.
In the event of any disaster such as OS or hardware failures, the VPS enables automated restart within minutes without any data loss or downtime to any application. In the virtualization environment, corporate security policies are enforced at application level to maintain network segmentation of sensitive data. The physical security given by VPS solutions providers encompasses redundant, hot-swappable controllers, power supplies, cooling fans and disks.
VPS solutions help businesses to recover from the impending disaster rapidly and effectively. Virtualization is a simplified way to maintain and safeguard data and resources against disaster consequences such as logical outages (software bug, virus and data corruption) and component outages namely CPU fault, disk and array failure.
