Thinking of interruptions and not disasters

Most people think of disaster recovery as a plan that is in place in case of a disaster, such as:

  • Weather related events, such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and forest/brush fires
  • Earthquakes

Any of these disasters can disable your primary datacentre and you would have to failover to your DR datacentre. However, most application interruptions are due to more mundane everyday occurrences, such as:

  • Facility fires
  • Fiber or communication lines are cut – loss of network
  • Power failures – outage or sporadic service
  • Cut power line
  • Security breach – hacking and/or malicious code
  • Water pipe breaks in a facility
  • Human error, such as a redundant system's failure that goes unnoticed

These interruptions can cripple a business if the business does not have a proper DR plan in place.

Another dimension to this point is covered in Chapter 8, Disaster Recovery Techniques for End Users. Think of who is interrupted: sales force, trading floor, executives, or end users.

This may seem like a trivial point, but IT has only so much manpower to dedicate to issues.
