What tools and tech do you use for disaster recovery and business continuity?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) are essential aspects of IT operations, as they ensure the availability and resilience of critical systems and data in the event of a disruption, such as a natural disaster, a cyberattack, or a human error. However, DR and BC are not the same thing, and they require different tools and technologies to plan, implement, and test. In this article, you will learn about some of the common tools and tech that you can use for DR and BC in your IT operations.

1 Backup and recovery tools

One of the most basic and important tools for DR and BC is a backup and recovery tool, which allows you to create copies of your data and applications and restore them in case of a loss or corruption. Backup and recovery tools can vary in terms of the frequency, granularity, location, and format of the backups, as well as the speed, reliability, and security of the recovery process. Some examples of backup and recovery tools are cloud-based services, such as AWS Backup or Azure Backup, or software solutions, such as Veeam or Acronis.

RSync for File system, Oracle DG/AD for dB, MySQL Master-Slave setup using Galeria. Each tool has its own way of data transfer(Real time as well as batch mode to sync data across sites)

We utilize a combination of cloud-based backup solutions like AWS S3 and Azure Blob Storage, coupled with disaster recovery software such as Veeam and Datto, to ensure seamless business continuity in the face of any unforeseen disruptions.

2 Replication and failover tools

Another tool for DR and BC is a replication and failover tool, which enables you to create and maintain identical copies of your systems and data across different locations or platforms, and switch between them in case of a failure or outage. Replication and failover tools can help you achieve high availability (HA) and reduce downtime and data loss. Some examples of replication and failover tools are database replication tools, such as Oracle Data Guard or MongoDB Atlas, or server replication tools, such as VMware Site Recovery Manager or Hyper-V Replica.

3 Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS)

A more advanced and comprehensive tool for DR and BC is disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), which is a cloud-based service that provides end-to-end DR and BC solutions, including backup, replication, failover, testing, monitoring, and reporting. DRaaS can help you simplify and automate your DR and BC processes, reduce costs and complexity, and leverage the scalability and flexibility of the cloud. Some examples of DRaaS providers are Zerto, Datto, or Sungard.

4 Business continuity management (BCM) tools

A tool that complements your DR and BC technical solutions is a business continuity management (BCM) tool, which helps you plan, manage, and execute your DR and BC strategies, policies, and procedures. BCM tools can help you identify and prioritize your critical business functions, assess and mitigate your risks, define and assign your roles and responsibilities, communicate and coordinate with your stakeholders, and evaluate and improve your performance. Some examples of BCM tools are Continuity Logic, ClearView, or Catalyst.

Implementing a comprehensive training program is crucial for ensuring effective business continuity management. This involves educating employees on their roles and responsibilities during a crisis, familiarizing them with relevant policies and procedures, and conducting regular drills and exercises to test their preparedness. For example, a manufacturing company might conduct simulated evacuations to train employees on safety protocols in the event of a fire or other emergency. By investing in employee training, organizations can enhance their overall resilience and ability to respond swiftly and effectively to disruptions.

5 Testing and monitoring tools

A tool that is essential for ensuring the effectiveness and readiness of your DR and BC tools and plans is a testing and monitoring tool, which allows you to simulate and verify your DR and BC scenarios, measure and report your key metrics, and identify and resolve any issues or gaps. Testing and monitoring tools can help you validate your recovery objectives, such as recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO), ensure your compliance and governance, and enhance your confidence and trust. Some examples of testing and monitoring tools are DR Test, DR Monitor, or CloudEndure.

The real crux of the DR is in how we maintain sanity of the DR site with out tampering with any of the Hardware, Software with out a change Mgmt process. As DR site gets into action only during disaster, any changes made with out process adherence are sure shot disaster
