Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery (DR) involves a set of policies, tools, and procedures designed to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a disaster. This can include natural disasters, cyberattacks, or other significant disruptions. A comprehensive disaster recovery plan includes data recovery services, failover procedures, and regular testing to ensure that an organisation can quickly resume operations with minimal downtime. DR is a critical component of business continuity planning, helping organisations maintain essential functions and services during and after a disaster. Effective disaster recovery solutions require a thorough risk assessment, identification of critical systems and data, and the development of recovery strategies. Organisations should also conduct regular drills and updates to their DR plans to ensure preparedness. By investing in disaster recovery, businesses can protect their assets, minimise financial losses, and maintain customer trust in the face of unexpected events.
