That's part of what I do here at Wells Fargo. Putting together the disaster recovery plan for our department.
One thing you really need to find out, is how fast they want it recovered. Our general rule of thumb:
Less than 1 week = Hardware has to be on hand, installed at offsite location. Rent space at another building, buy hardware with same configuration as you have now.
1 - 4 Weeks = Rented space, ready to install equipment. Contract with vendor to receive equipment within 1 week.
More than 30 days = Order equipment, find rental space at time of disaster.
Even more so than the data recovery, you have to consider where your employees will sit, how you will continue working, etc. Lots to think about for those kind of plans.
There are many facilities around the nation that do this kind of thing. Buildings sit empty until you need the space for some reason.
I'm by far no expert at it, but can give you advice if you want. |
