What Is Connection’s Disaster Recovery Plan?
Connection’s Disaster Recovery Plan is a document with step-by-step instructions to recover key systems and restore them to acceptable service levels. The plan includes steps to recover any associated infrastructure, as well as recommendations to continually test the plan (which Connection can perform as an additional service), ensuring your organization's readiness at any time.Connection’s Disaster Recovery Services are a great fit for organizations of any size that are required (either legally or by contracts) to maintain a minimum level of downtime. While enterprise companies have the most work to do to create a disaster recovery plan, mid-market and small companies also benefit from knowing their business is safe in the event of a crisis.
Connection’s Disaster Recovery Plan is created in three phrases:
Discovery
Connection identifies key executives as well as IT and business stakeholders in your organization. Connection then schedules stakeholder workshops and one-on-one interviews to learn more about your existing disaster recovery plans, including testing, changes since development, and goals. Connection also collects an inventory of your organization’s current production systems and target recovery systems, along with any existing disaster recovery documentation.
Analysis
Connection analyzes your documentation, in addition to findings from the workshops and interviews, to discover gaps between your current disaster recovery plan and your business continuity plan. Connection also examines your testing procedures to see if they still meet the standards set forth in your business continuity plan. Based on this analysis, Connection will either update your existing disaster recovery and testing plan or create an entirely new plan.
Reporting
Connection produces a final disaster recovery design report with specific guidance or recommendations for contingency plans for each critical system, restoration (for bringing critical systems back to normal production levels), and testing. Optionally, Connection can also present the plan in person to your executives and/or stakeholders.
