Disaster Recovery
Envision IT has been providing disaster recovery (DR) consulting to businesses in the Madison, WI area since 2001. IT systems fail and when they do, downtime can be greatly reduced or even completely avoided if the right plan is in place. To help determine if your DR plan is adequate, ask yourself the following questions:
- How long will it take to become 100% operational in the event of a hardware or site failure?
- How much data will you lose if a server crashes?
- Have you tested your plan recently?
- Is there written documentation of the steps necessary to restore business operations?
Envision IT creates disaster recovery plans from two basic questions.
- What is your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) - how long will it take to become fully operational?
- What is your Recovery Point Objective (RPO) - how much data are you willing to lose?
The answer to those questions can vary greatly between businesses, but it is important to note than any plan created must be designed with those two questions in mind. Whether you need your IT services to be 100% available or restored within 24 hours, Envision IT will work with you to create a comprehensive disaster recovery plan that is right for your business.
