Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery is crucial in technology operations management. It focuses on restoring systems, data, and infrastructure after major disruptions. Responding to and recovering from events such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or system failures is essential to any technology strategy. The heart of a solid strategy involves meticulous planning and execution. Setting recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) to guide restoration efforts, ensuring a quick resumption of operations and minimal data loss. Recovery plans typically involve redundant systems and backup data centers that activate to maintain continuity during and after a disaster. For professionals, mastering this domain and skill is invaluable. It demands a thorough understanding of both the technical and logistical aspects of the system, as well as the ability to strategize under pressure. Effective disaster recovery measures protect an organization from potential losses and build stakeholder confidence in the organization's resilience capabilities.
