Chapter Objective
After completing this chapter, you will be able to: o Define Business Continuity and Information Availability
o Reliability
o Information should be reliable and correct
o Timeliness
o Information must be available whenever required
Impact of Downtime
Lost Productivity Number of employees impacted (x hours out * hourly rate)
Know the downtime costs (per hour, day, two days...)
Lost Revenue Direct loss Compensatory payments Lost future revenue Billing losses Investment losses
Financial Performance Revenue recognition Cash flow Lost discounts (A/P) Payment guarantees Credit rating Stock price
Other Expenses Temporary employees, equipment rental, overtime costs, extra shipping costs, travel expenses...

BC Terminologies
o Disaster recovery
o Coordinated process of restoring systems, data, and infrastructure required to support ongoing business operations in the event of a disaster o Restoring previous copy of data and applying logs to that copy to bring it to a known point of consistency o Generally implies use of backup technology
o Disaster restart
o Process of restarting from disaster using mirrored consistent copies of data and applications o Generally implies use of replication technologies
BC Terminologies (Cont.)
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) o Point in time to which systems and data must be recovered after an outage o Amount of data loss that a business can endure Recovery Time Objective (RTO) o Time within which systems, applications, or functions must be recovered after an outage o Amount of downtime that a business can endure and survive

BC Technology Solutions
o Following are the solutions and supporting technologies that enable business continuity and uninterrupted data availability:
o Single point of failure o Multi-pathing software o Backup and replication
o Backup recovery
Client
FC Switches
IP
Storage Array Storage Array Remote Site Redundant Network
Multi-pathing Software
o Configuration of multiple paths increases data availability o Even with multiple paths, if a path fails I/O will not reroute unless system recognizes that it has an alternate path o Multi-pathing software helps to recognize and utilizes alternate I/O path to data
o Remote Replication
o Data from the production devices is copied to replica devices on a remote array o In the event of a failure, applications can continue to run from the target device
o Backup/Restore
o Backup to tape has been a predominant method to ensure business continuity o Frequency of backup is depend on RPO/RTO requirements
