Disaster recovery planning is essential for modern businesses. When IT systems suddenly go down, the incident triggers anxiety in users and customers, as well as unleashing operational chaos.

In Parts 1 and 2 of our IBM Power for Data Resiliency Series, we looked at why disaster recovery is important for today’s businesses and how to develop an effective disaster recovery plan. In the journey toward greater business resiliency, disaster recovery can be an entry point for achieving high availability.

In Part 1 of our IBM Power for Data Resilience series, we explored how disaster recovery has gained a cybersecurity focus and its importance in maintaining your company’s reliability and productivity.

To promote data resilience, organizations need to develop disaster recovery strategies that enable them to bounce back quickly after a traumatic incident. When companies think of disaster recovery, they typically see it as a solution for addressing the negative impact of natural disasters, such as wildfires, floods, or blizzards. Organizations make plans to back up and recover data when their systems are shut down by a traumatic event or equipment failure.

When companies develop strategies for fighting cybersecurity threats, they often focus on defending against external risks. These risks may include attacks staged by hackers and organized groups of cybercriminals who deliberately infiltrate business systems to profit from stealing sensitive data.

After acquiring VMware, Broadcom switched its products from perpetual licensing to a subscription-based model, meaning that most current customers will see costs increase and service level changes. As a result, many of their existing customers are considering alternatives to VMware because of how this may or already has impacted their business.
