Although a business disaster is an emotional and expensive worry, as a business owner you need to force yourself to think about an IT disaster recovery plan and truly contemplate what you are going to do if disaster strikes!
An IT disaster recovery plan is a strategy set out to help an organisation quickly resume its operation after an unexpected event. At Technical Drive, we can support with a number of disaster recovery solutions, a primary one being a disaster recovery plan that is well documented, structured, and regularly reviewed to maintain its viability.
Many companies put off thinking about IT disaster recovery planning because it is hard to consider all eventualities. When bogged down by the day to day running of a business it can be a lot easier to hope it’ll never happen to you, and think that you are resilient and would deal with it at the time.
In fact 90% of companies that suffer a disaster go bust 8 or 9 months after the disaster - so it is worth your time to prepare in advance.
The worst time to need to be answering these questions is when you are in the middle of a disaster. Having an IT business continuity plan in place will mean that you have answered these questions in advance, minimising the impact on your business.
If you have disaster recovery plans in place, it may also help you win clients or differentiate you from the competition! If your potential customers know that you have a plan in place no matter what, they will feel supported and in safe hands.
There are many things that could go wrong, including:
At Technical Drive we can support you to consider all of these, to ensure that you have a robust IT backup and disaster recovery plan that will be there when you need it.
And you can rely on us, because we’ve put an IT backup plan into practice many times before.
In one example, one of our clients was required to vacate their premises by a certain date but their new premises weren’t ready to move into - a scenario perhaps not automatically thought of as a ‘disaster’ but which could have been devastating for the company nevertheless. Not least because it was during the pandemic which meant a lot of users were already working from home and relying on their connectivity to the core infrastructure.
We were able to move their servers to the Technical Drive Data Centre (over a weekend) allowing all workers to login and continue to work as normal on Monday morning until the new premises became available.
