TOP 1 - Automate every aspect of your BC plan Automate every aspect of your BC plan Define automated failover and recovery processes Plan for recovery at remote data centers (if no own second site) Plan that data center employees were stranded at home Plan that they are unable to access public transportation Plan that roads are blocked due to downed trees Plan any other access to data center site
Failover, recovery and restore steps need to be automated

TOP 1 - Automate every aspect of your BC plan – success story
We investigated all action plan to cope the worst case scenarios, always parting from our BCP plan in Rogsi.
Everyone is accepting the one and only definition of the criticality, embedded in the BCP-plan "Never waste a good crisis" and "every crisis gives opportunities".
The homework capacity was considerably enhanced, sleep-in, hotels, early arrivers, laissez-passer vouchers, etc.
The day itself, none of the pessimistic previsions came out. We came to an activation rate of 47,2 %, 1/3 inside the
buildings, 2/3 from home.

TOP 2 - Virtualized infrastructure is no protection from interruptions
Don’t assume that your virtualized infrastructure enjoys full protection from service interruptions
Plan to check access to application when one site is down Plan to check current data Plan switch to other server, if one site is down Check backup strategy Check backup data (not only strategy) Test Recovery of backup - data
Virtualized infrastructure has to be checked and tested

TOP 3 - Planning is important, but not nearly as important as testing
Business continuity testing is a sensitive subject 22% of companies never test their business continuity plan 22% say they only test once a year What's about the other 56% - what do they do? Ensure to immediately enable availability of mission-critical
applications Test to enable mission-critical applications and procedures If application don't failover to “backup” server
Critical work will stop Meter will start running on your losses

TOP 4 - Consider your strategy for data center location
Consider your strategy for data center location 60% of North American companies with more than $50 million in
revenue have more than one data center Approximately 40% of midsize / large companies have only a single
data center Analyse the requirements of applications and processes
Recover Time Objective Recover Point Objective Data Loss
Based on this results create a strategy for your data center sites

TOP 5 - Prioritize your business continuity Prioritize your business continuity functions to avoid overspending Execute a BIA in depth to
Know the core business Know the mission critical processes Know the financial risks from an outage Know dependencies between different processes Know critical resources related to processes Know workarounds for critical processes Know the RTO and RPO
Outage of one process can stop the whole business Know your business

TOP 6 - Think BC and DR as a managed service Build DR and BC as a managed service – internal or external
Infrastructure, Security, Platforms, Network, Customer support Select a partner or define BC-Department for BC and DR IT services partner can help you recover from a service interruption There are major difference between partner offerings
Hosted hardware Disaster recovery tools Managing services Maintaining documentation

TOP 7 - Integrate mobility as a core element Be sure to integrate mobility as a core element in your business
continuity plan Plan to execute your core application at any backup site Plan to send out employees to any external place
Transportation Hotel Communication
Plan virtual workforces for more flexibility Don't allow/accept know how in single persons
