iSeries (AS/400) - Disaster Recovery - Plan Creation

In today's fast world of business, many information systems are no longer considered back office operations. In fact many businesses would simply be unable to trade without their information systems on-line.

This is where ATS consultants start the process. We attempt to predict the impact on business should the information systems your business needs become unavailable. The impact is quantified over hours, days and weeks. This process helps us to ascertain the systems your business needs on-line immediately or as soon as possible, your primary systems, and what systems are required in due course, your secondary systems.

Based on this information we can then start to devise a backup strategy that insures your system(s), applications and data are effectively secured off-line and can be fully recovered should the need arise.

Using the information we have about recovery for your primary and secondary systems combined with your backup strategy, we can now liase with your DR provider or review your in house solution and document the recovery process, covering all areas from staff contact details to loading and configuring the system(s), establishing access. through to validation and testing of all systems, applications and data.

The final step, often overlooked, is the procedure and processes required to revert back to the original system. This is also included as part of the plan.

Deliverables:

• All business requirements addressed
• Suitable backup strategy devised
• Documented recovery plan
• Documented test plan

Benefits:

• All analysis completed by experienced consultants
• The plan is not dependant on local knowledge
