Adequate disaster recovery and business continuity planning is now accepted as a basic requirement for every organization and business. It is widely acknowledged that a detailed disaster recovery / business continuity plan should not only exist, but should be current. It should reflect the real and on-going needs of the business activity or function.
But how do you ensure that this is the case? If you have a plan, do you know that it will all work? Do you audit it, and if so, how? Equally fundamentally, do you know what your resource/service dependencies are and what their time criticalities are?
To determine and ensure all of this, Netmagic professionals have the expertise, the knowledge and the tools required to design, implement and manage business continuity plans for organizations. We assist in ensuring continuity in the face or disaster or serious incident.
The different services include -
1. Business Impact and Risk Analysis
2. Creating a Disaster Recovery Plan
3. Contingency audit and plan assurance
4. Implementing the Plan
This involves choosing right vendors and implementation of processes, policies and infrastructure as per disaster recovery plan. Netmagic will also help you in the integration and management of the different applications and network elements that are needed to ensure business continuity.
Normally, if you are running any kind of mission critical applications, the answer to this question is that you cant afford to lose any data at all. No company can. However, it is still possible to function with marginally impaired data, but for no more than a short period of time.
Netmagic works with clients to determine
- How much degradation in performance is acceptable to a company during
a disaster?
- Are the current resources sufficient to avert, or tackle a disaster?
- How much Downtime constitutes a Disaster?
- How much Data can you afford to lose, if any?
- When should your Disaster Recovery Plan be in place?
