IT Resilience: An Insurance Policy against Future Disruptions
What happens when IT stumbles? Data center outages or damage from fire or weather-related incidents.
Are businesses able to recover?
Key to a strong response is being able to act before the incident in a preventative and proactive way. That approach allows businesses to get through crises that have the potential to cause large amounts of financial or reputational problems.
IDC explained that “IT resilience is a proactive approach of dealing with
disruptions. With IT resilient operations you are ready for any type
of disruption, planned or unplanned, so you can mitigate the risk
of downtime and focus on the projects that drive transformation.”
How are organizations trying to achieve IT resilience? A suvey by IDC came up with the following results:
- Data protection – 38 percent of businesses say that they’re rolling out new backup and recovery services
- Cloud-based data protection – 19 percent of businesses say that they plan to deploy Disaster Recovery as a Service.
Backup and recovery can pay off if ever the organization gets hit by disruption. It’s unfortunate though that the adoption levels are still relatively low. It should be something that is reconsidered. Disaster Recover services can act as an insurance policy against the future unforeseen.
