Overview:

Business continuity represents seamless, uninterrupted provision of operations and services by a company, even in the face of disasters. Preparing for business continuity helps to protect revenues, reduce risk of business shutdown, simplify recovery and prevent customer dissatisfaction. Businesses and Governments continue to implement requirements for protection against loss of data and IT infrastructures. Moreover, newer regulatory guidelines such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II and HIPAA mandate the need to keep critical business processes running and have data continuously available.

Disasters can have a catastrophic effect on business due to loss of data and IT infrastructure, resulting in high downtime and business disruption. Research shows that two out of five enterprises that experience a disaster go out of business within five years. Out of the companies that experience a major loss of computerized data, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years, and only 6% survive long-term.

Key Challenges for IT organization in BCDR areas are to minimize downtime, prevent data loss, ability to recover from disaster within certain RTO and RPO and avoid customer dissatisfaction. Also to maintain continuous IT operations for critical business processes at a cost in line with your risk and value to your business.
