From the article in IBM Systems Magazine: "Disaster recovery (D/R) planning and testing has been a large part of my career. I've been involved in D/R exercises for a variety of customers, and I was also peripherally involved on a D/R event that happened after Hurricane Katrina. There's a big difference between planned and unplanned D/R events.
Does your datacenter have the right procedures and equipment in place to recover your business from a disaster? Can your business survive extended downtime without your computing resources? Is your company prepared for a planned D/R event? What about an unplanned event? I've helped customers recover from both types of events. This article provides a place to start when considering D/R preparations for your organization."
