Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Business Impact Analysis (BIA) are all processes that deal with the ability to continue operations in the face of events that hinder, damage or endanger IT services, facilities or people. Business Continuity planning/Contingency planning is a process that defines exactly how, for which applications and potentially for how long a business plans to keep functioning after a disruptive event. Disruptive events however, can range from a small hardware failure, to human error to catastrophic events.
Here is a quick summary of the causes for application downtime:
- 40% Operation error
- 40% Hardware error
- 12% Application failure
- 5% Disaster
- 3% Other environmental
