Disaster Recovery Vs. Business Continuity
April 28, 2005
Selected quotes from the article:
“The IT department with its disaster recovery plan is one element of a larger business continuity scenario.”
“Many IT departments think disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) are the same thing. As a result, they tend to take a largely technology focus on the subjects.”
“If the DR plan cannot meet the requirements of the business units, it is of no value.''
“In terms of a hierarchical view, business continuity is at the top. Below it is the disaster recovery plan. And under that come technologies, such as enterprise backup, recovery and restoration.”
Pinnacle Business Concepts also believes that Disaster Recovery is a process that is imbedded in Business Continuity Plans. The functioning business is made up of People, Processes, Technology, and Infrastructure. The successful plan must address all four areas. Pinnacle Business Concepts, Inc., provides your organization with experts in each area to assist with your plan.
