Good Morning! This week we will post the content from Mark Evanko’s presentation outlining the 16 Elements one should consider in order to develop a complete and appropriate Data Center solution. Mark’s theory is simple, if anyone who needs to plan the next steps or creation of a data center solution looks carefully at these 16 items, based on their specific needs and requirements, this system can act as a roadmap to pinpoint a proper solution. BRUNS-PAK can of course help!
So this week lets look at Element #5, Disaster Recovery
5. Disaster Recovery
A. Hot or cold
B. Recovery time
C. Internal disaster recovery data centers vs. external “leased” disaster recovery centers
D. Lease terms and conditions for availability
E. Government regulations for uptime – banking/healthcare/etc.
F. Active testing
G. Guarantee of “space” when needed?
Here is the full list of 16 Elements we will be reviewing one by one over the next weeks:
