In the world of enterprise storage, data must be accessible at all times. It’s critical for business survival. Yet the challenge is that storage – like other areas of information technology – can suffer downtime, which will negatively impact operations.
The discipline of business impact analysis is an effort to limit this downtime. It’s an important component of every company’s risk management strategy. Understanding how an outage, data security incident or other forms of unplanned downtime impacts an IT organization is a must. It’s an essential part of having the right business continuity and disaster recovery solutions in place.
