Business continuity designed, not assumed.

Availability and recovery are built through architecture, protection, procedures and testing. We define how the service stays running and how it returns after a failure.

Capabilities

Availability and recovery are different problems.

High availability reduces local interruptions; DRP defines service recovery when a site or platform becomes unavailable.

Operating Criteria

Decisions that remain operable after the project.

Dependencies

Application, database, network, storage and DNS recover in sequence.

RPO/RTO

Objectives follow criticality and real technology behavior.

Runbook

Steps, owners, validations and return criteria are documented.

Testing

Controlled execution finds errors before a contingency.

Continuity Layers

High availability, backup, replication and DRP solve different problems.

Continuity improves when each mechanism has a clear purpose and all of them participate in a known recovery sequence.

High availability

Reduces local interruptions through redundancy and failover.

  • Process / service
  • Host
  • Network / storage
  • Cluster

Backup

Protects versions of data against logical or physical loss.

  • Retention
  • Copies
  • Catalog
  • Restore

Replication

Maintains a synchronized copy according to the data-loss objective.

  • Synchronous / asynchronous
  • Lag
  • Consistency
  • Link

DRP

Orchestrates people, technology and sequence to recover the service.

  • RPO / RTO
  • Runbook
  • Failover / failback
  • Testing
Outcome

From assessment to an executable decision.

Recovery plan

Defines dependencies, owners, startup order, success criteria and return.

  • Critical inventory
  • Sequence
  • Communications
  • Failback criteria

Recovery test

Turns assumptions into timings, evidence and findings that can be corrected.

  • Observed RPO
  • Observed RTO
  • Issues found
  • Improvement actions
Next Step

Turn continuity into a procedure that can be executed and measured.

Map dependencies, define the strategy and test the complete recovery path.
