I NEED...
- To protect my critical business functions
in case of disaster
- Minimal downtime should an extended
interruption occur
- A comprehensive, bulletproof disaster
recovery plan
- A proactive, ongoing approach to business
continuity
Business Continuity/Recovery is a business best practice
detailing how your organization readies, recovers and restores
partially or completely interrupted critical business functions
within a predetermined time following a disaster or extended
interruption.
Logicalis’ Business Continuity/Recovery practice helps you better
prepare for incidents that could jeopardize your company's
long-term health and core missions. Effective continuity planning
often means the difference between uninterrupted, efficient
operations and unproductive, costly downtime. Logicalis' Business
Continuity/Recovery practice keeps your organization up and
running, minimizing downtime and mitigating technology and
information losses.
Key Features of the Logicalis Business Continuity/ Recovery
Approach
Logicalis takes a service-oriented approach to Business
Continuity/Recovery. Because we are vendor independent, we allow
our clients’ environments to determine the technology required. We
focus on recovery of business processes, rather than software,
hardware and systems. The major advantage of looking at Business
Continuity/Recovery this way is it allows recovery based on the
prioritized needs of your business. The cost-to-recover can be
calculated at a business-service level, helping to prioritize and
appropriately budget for what needs to be done first.
Five Key Benefits of Business Continuity
Planning
1. Minimize the interruption of core business
processes
2. Meet regulatory and compliance requirements
3. Reduce costs of possible litigation and legal
liability
4. Reduce exposure to financial losses
5. Have documented plan for emergency situations
Service-oriented business continuity comprises four steps.
Depending on your requirements, we can engage on individual phases
or deliver a complete project that incorporates all of the
following:
Planning: We draw a picture of your requirements,
including risk assessment, vulnerability analysis, project
management and identification of threats. Deliverable: Risk and
threat assessment
Strategy: We define needs, including valuing
business services, performing business impact analysis, defining
recovery time objectives and determining minimum operating
resources. Deliverable: Business impact analysis and business
service prioritization
Execution: We ensure the strategy can be
successfully executed. This is accomplished by forming teams and
assigning roles and responsibilities, obtaining management buy-in,
creating the disaster recovery plan (DRP), and testing the nodes
and interruption scenarios. Deliverable: Complete business
continuity plan
Maintenance: Business Continuity/Recovery is a
practice that requires oversight. Follow-on services include
managing the mature disaster recovery plan, spot testing and
exercising assets, adjusting for business reorganization and
allocating for new business services. Deliverable: Updated
business continuity plan as needed
