(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.
