IT disaster recovery software you can rely on

IT Disaster recovery is the complete strategy and process of bringing a business back to an operational state after an outage, cyber attack, or other IT service disruption. This includes restoring access to and the functioning of IT systems and applications.

The objective of IT disaster recovery is to get a business to resume normal operations including getting IT systems fully back up and functional after an outage.

Business risk assessments determine the acceptable levels of service that the business needs to maintain. These underpin the provision of robust resilience and recovery tools and processes. Knowing the system, its weaknesses, and both the resilience and recovery requirements are essential for understanding how to make the system truly resilient. This is also an opportunity to identify which processes are the most critical to the business and should take priority.

An IT DRP documents how an organization needs to respond in the event of an IT disaster such as a network failure, cloud outage, or cyber attack. It outlines the steps that teams need to take in order to get systems back up and running and includes recovery time objectives (RTOs) defining the maximum amount of time this should take. DRPs can take various forms, such as documents, spreadsheets, or playbooks but a codified and executable runbook format will yield the best results.
