Disaster recovery

It is important to establish a site, physically separated from the central one, that has replication capability. Doing so ensures the integrity of an operational system where the central site is at risk from fire, tornado, hurricane or other catastrophe. The replication capability includes having duplicated hardware, and requires that software configuration and key state information is periodically propagated from the central site to the recovery site.

Each disaster recovery scenario will be unique, thus it is important to consult with system integration experts regarding the design of communications equipment, hardware and the configuration of the software.
