DISASTER RECOVERY Ensuring that you have an adequate back-up system in place. Whatever the status of your current disaster recovery (DR) plans, Thesaurus provides a professional perspective on the full DR life cycle, including the following. Planning – from determining the business requirements for recovering your complex IT systems, through to identifying what business, technical and external vendor plans are actually required to create a comprehensive back-up system. Generation – building the communications, logistic, strategic and technical document plans which ensure minimal downtime for your IT environments and, more importantly, to ensure that your business gets back to work straight away. Validation – needing constant revision and attention, DR considerations pervade all IT processes. These changes, from shifting business requirements to significant scope extensions, cannot always be tested straight away. We can validate the viability of your latest set of plans without having to arrange for additional test slots with your DR provider. Testing – DR plans need comprehensive testing. We can execute complete or partial DR tests with a full report of findings. This includes a DR improvement plan, a vital ingredient in ensuring continual improvement and staying in step with business and technology advances.
