Most corporates today identifies Business Continuity Management (BCM) with backups and Disaster Recovery (DR). While this is inherently a critical aspect of BCM, its also worth considering the other equally important elements that will help reduce costs, improve schedule and promote performance in achieving better Recovery Time and Point Objectives (RTO, RPO).
Business continuity plans ensure the ongoing viability of business operations and embodies a wide range of processes and technologies that contribute positively towards uninterrupted business processing. Some of these include
- Disaster recovery
- Backup window elimination
- Follow-the-Sun data center operations
- Multi-site access to synchronized data
- Remote application delivery
Gartner research estimates that two out of five enterprises that experience some form of disaster go out of business within five years. Even among corporations with Business Continuity plans, studies show that less than one-half meet an acceptable portion of their recovery objectives.
