High DR test failure rate, downtime costs soar: report E-mail

Symantec suggests that organisations can also do a better job at curbing the costs of downtime by implementing more automation tools, and recommends they do this by minimising human involvement and address other weaknesses in their disaster recovery plans.

“Because disaster recovery testing is invaluable, but can significantly impact business – including customers and revenue – organisations should seek to improve the success of testing by evaluating and implementing testing methods which are non-disruptive.”

In a final recommendation on DR, Symantec says organisations should include those responsible for virtualisation into disaster recovery plans, “especially testing and backup initiatives.”

“Virtual environments should be treated the same as a physical server, showing the need for organisations to adopt more cross-platform and cross-environment tools, or standardising on fewer platforms.”
