November 20168 Efficient and optimal business continuity in the event of a disaster is a matter of design, not default. Disaster Recovery (DR) needs investments not just in time and planning, but also in the right disaster recovery orchestrator. DR helps businesses recover quickly and ensure they are able to continue operations with minimal downtime.Nathan Steiner, Head of Systems Engineering for ANZ at Veeam lists six ways in which organisations can be DR-ready, so if disaster strikes, they can be confident that their DR plan will actually deliver.Plan Ahead A good DR plan accounts for every possible disaster that can occur, lists the various scenarios and outlines a set of processes to help minimise disruption to business activities if and when an outage occurs. It assigns responsibilities to employees and details the duties they need to perform to ensure the business doesn't come to a standstill and can resume with minimal disruption to services. Effective DR planning is a function of optimal training and effectively simulating and testing recovery scenarios.Perfect ProcessOrganisations need to use a combination of automation and process innovation to drive effective simulation of repeatable recovery scenarios. They must invest in and make use of technology platforms. This will allow for the creation of a highly effective, comprehensive and simple set of simulation plans through a `single pane of glass'; as By Nathan Steiner, Head of Systems Engineering ANZ,Veeam SoftwareVeeam Software is the innovative provider of solutions that deliver Availability for the Always-On Enterprise.
