Just as having your backup tapes stored off-site is not sufficient planning for a disaster, simply having a plan of how to recover from the unpreventable is not enough. Consider the following research:
- A study by the University of Texas uncovered the following statistics:
"Only 6% of companies suffering a catastrophic data loss survive, while
43% never reopen and 51% close within two years."
- $18,000 is the average hourly cost of downtime for PC networks
- The average cost of downtime ranges from approximately $90,000 per hour
of in the transportation industry (airline reservations) to $6.5
million for large brokerage houses in the finance industry (as reported
by Contingency Planning Research)
Every company and organization must develop policies and procdeures for both protecting data, and ensuring the continuation of operations after a major catastrophe.
