How a US manufacturer with colocation-hosted critical applications used SIB to conduct a full BIA, establish an on-premise DR site, and validate recovery procedures through table-top training.
A US-based manufacturer specializing in durable, flexible hose and ducting solutions hosts all business-critical applications in a colocation data center where it owns rack space. The organization needed to develop failover strategies for these applications — but first had to determine their business criticality and recovery precedence through a formal Business Impact Analysis.
SIB's team of IT consultants conducted a detailed BIA, established an on-premise IT DR site, identified a cloud backup provider, formulated recovery procedures for all hosted servers, and compiled a comprehensive IT recovery plan — then uploaded it to SIB's software and validated it through a full table-top training exercise.
All business-critical applications hosted in a colocation data center — with no failover strategy if colocation servers went down and no DR site to absorb the workload
A Business Impact Analysis was needed to determine business criticality and recovery precedence across all applications before failover strategies could be developed
An alternate DR site needed to be identified, established, and validated — along with cloud backup services and fool-proof recovery procedures for every critical server
SIB's IT consultants delivered a complete on-premise IT DR strategy — from BIA and DR site establishment through recovery procedure formulation, plan upload, and validated table-top testing.
A US-based manufacturer specializing in providing durable, long-lasting, flexible hose and ducting solutions with industrial and commercial applications — hosting all business-critical applications in a colocation data center where it owns rack space.
All critical applications were in a colocation data center with no failover strategy. A BIA was needed to identify recovery priorities, and an alternate DR site had to be established to handle failover if colocation servers went down. Recovery procedures had not been formulated or tested.
SIB's IT consultants conducted a detailed BIA by interviewing departmental heads and identifying each department's IT dependencies. Critical servers and applications were inventoried with RTO objectives. An IT DR site was then established at one of the organization's own locations after a feasibility analysis, with a cloud backup provider identified for data transfer.
Recovery procedures were formulated for each colocation server, then a comprehensive IT recovery plan was compiled accounting for application recovery priority and personnel availability during an outage. The plan was uploaded to SIB's software, additional personnel identified for ongoing maintenance, and a table-top exercise conducted to validate the procedures were fool-proof.
