It didn’t take the World Trade Center disaster for people to start thinking about disaster preparedness. But, it definitely moved up the threat to real-time. Today, everyone knows that their business can stop and completely go away without an effective recovery plan.
And yet, the Gartner Group documents that a frightening number of companies still don’t have a plan. It’s not that they don’t have an effective, tested plan – they don’t have any plan. The threat is real, if not from terrorism then certainly from natural disasters like Katrina and earthquakes and tornadoes.
Many companies confuse mirror sites and replication with Disaster Recovery. In fact, these items are just part of a broader picture that is not easy and is not inexpensive. The most likely reason that companies don’t have a DR plan is because they perceive that they can’t afford one. DR plans are not expensive. DR implementation can be.
