Disaster Recovery: You Can Afford It

By Nick Mueller

Implementing a disaster recovery strategy is critical, but is often delayed for two reasons:

1. It's complicated to evaluate business operations to find critical data that needs to be made available first after a disaster

2. The perception that a disaster recovery solution that meets targets is too expensive

Both of these issues create friction that slows down adoption of disaster recovery strategies and technologies. As a result, IT stays focused on daily proverbial fires instead of actual fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, or floods.
