Why Is A Disaster Recovery Strategy So Important Today?

Until recently the complexity of determining the impacting factors has played a significant role in DR being reserved for only the most critical applications. Now, technological enhancements have meant the cost of delivering DR and recovery objectives has become cheaper and more commonplace, but effective understanding of application unavailability remains, at best, confusing.

A DR strategy is paramount for any organisation that operationally or legally relies on its applications and the information they hold. Without one the interruption of applications could spell disaster for you personally and or your organisation.

Getting the balance right for downtime versus the level of protection you could get away with will result in an effective DR strategy that matches the value of the application to the cost of the infrastructure to protect it.
