  1. Rethinking HA/DRA Business Continuity IT Primer

  2. Market Indicators Show Attention to Business Continuity is Rising* • 59% of CIOs surveyed have increased spending for and focus on Business Continuity Initiatives • In 1H 2005, finance and manufacturing organizations lost 16% and 9% respectively of annual revenues due to downtime • Only 26% of all organizations have calculated the cost of downtime • 66% of enterprises don’t test their disaster recovery plan yearly • 70% of firms who could not access their data within 3-5 days after the SF earthquake & NY WT went out of business • Current practice focuses only on compliance with Disaster Recovery requirements *Based on Financial Times paper, “Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery”, June 2005, Symantec customer research, EMS reports Presentation Identifier Goes Here

  3. Industry Terms • Disaster – any unplanned event that significantly impacts business functions • Significant Impact – i.e. Risk of Bankruptcy • Loss of market share • Exposure to litigation / legal action • Revenue loss • Disaster Recovery – Activities and programs designed to return the compute power of an organization to an acceptable condition. 1) The ability to respond to an interruption in services by implementing a disaster recovery plan to restore an organization's critical business applications Presentation Identifier Goes Here
