Context of Business Continuity

and Disaster Recovery

4

Uptime and Protection of Data are Critical for Business

Revenue Continuously available services

ensure revenue streams

Productivity Enables the workforce to work at

full capacity

Compliance Guarantees responsiveness to

auditing entities (SOX, ISO)

Reputation Protects relationships with

customers and partners

5

Organizations Require Recovery Objectives in Hours, not Days
