Workshop Overview
According to Symantec Disaster Recovery Research 2007, nearly 50% of these international organisations failed a full scenario disaster recovery testing plan. In addition, 48% of these international organisations have had to execute their disaster recovery plans.
In another survey done by Brilliant Ideas, LLC for Scalent Systems 2007 revealed that nearly 67% of respondents were only “minimally confident” that their disaster recovery system would work as planned in the event of a disaster.
Disaster can strike any business, anywhere, any time: yet less than a third of organisations have comprehensive disaster recovery plans. Most organisations experiencing a disaster simply do not survive. An effective disaster recovery plan is essential for mission critical Information Technology and Telecommunications services. New corporate governance and compliance regulations require risk assessment and expect disaster recovery plans. Financial legislation requires protection of assets by prudent planning; insurers are increasingly demanding contingency plans - and may reduce or decline payment if plans are not in place; auditors are increasingly insisting on disaster recovery plans.
