This paper was written to discuss the total costs associated with "downtime" caused by computer system outages and recommends that organizations consider the total cost of system downtime when designing and implementing comprehensive disaster recovery solutions. The impact of data and service interruptions largely depend on what preparedness plans are put in place by enterprises before a disaster hits. This paper offers a different approach for enterprises to manage availability with proactive enterprise-wide business continuity solutions that complement existing disaster recovery solutions.
