New Disaster Recovery Planning Video From SunGard Availability Services Outlines Essential Steps in Preparedness Success
A new online video from SunGard Availability Services aimed at
business and IT professionals outlines the critical success factors in
creating and maintaining a disaster recovery plan. The informational
video examines disaster recovery planning, looks at how to address the top challenges in developing a plan, defines the essential contributors to involve in the planning process, recommends plan testing strategies and describes how to update a plan to ensure it is effective at time of need.
Disaster recovery planning expert, Don Norbeck of SunGard
Availability Services, presents eight video segments that are short and
easy to watch, each ranging from one to four minutes. The segments
answer the important questions organizations may have about disaster
preparedness, including: Where do I start? Who needs to be included in
creating my plan? How can I be sure my disaster plan will work? What do
I need to do to keep the plan current?

"The best way to develop a disaster recovery plan is to
create it from a business perspective - not an IT perspective. One of
the starting points of an effective plan is looking at the business
impact of not having one or more critical systems available. This
perspective will provide the guideposts on what type of disaster
recovery solution is needed to support the business," said Mr. Norbeck,
technology officer for virtualization, cloud computing and product
strategy at SunGard Availability Services.
