Lessons in Disaster: 5 Excuses That Will Kill Your Business

Disasters, we all want to avoid them, but sometimes it is impossible. The best we can do is have a solid plan to recover, rebuild and limit the damage when disaster strikes.

We do this in our personal lives, but when it comes to our business, we tend to procrastinate and make excuses. No one seems to think it can happen to them, then a tornado, hurricane, fire or other catastrophic event wipes out their company.

Most business cannot survive if their systems are down for a few hours, not to mention days, weeks or months.

Disaster Recovery Plans for business are not a new concept. We all understand a solid plan (and testing that plan) is vital to the health of our organization. So, why then does the most recent survey by the Disaster Recovery Preparedness Council show that...

It’s hard.Yes, planning for survival hard. But, it’s much easier to make logical action plans when you’re not looking at the charred remains of what was once your datacenter. Additionally, you don’t have to do it alone. KiZAN has years of professional experience and can provide the resources necessary to plan, prepare, and execute an actual disaster recovery plan.

No TimeYou probably do not have the time to fully create, implement and test a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. The storm is coming, though, and it does not care about your work/life balance. There is no need to act like the Lone Ranger or to be the martyr who toils away the endless hours to futilely cobble together some semblance of preparedness. Call in the resources you need now. KiZAN can handle the heavy lifting as you mind the day to day operations of your organization.

Don’t know where to start.Disaster Recovery planning truly is a massive undertaking, with dozens of moving parts that affect every aspect of your business. Attempting to identify the most efficient path forward can lead to PxA (Paralysis by Analysis). Recognize that the viability of the business is at stake. Eat the elephant one bite at a time. Calling on professional assistance should be the first bite.

Don’t' have facilities/infrastructure.Very few companies would admit to having “best case” facilities or infrastructure. Does that mean we would be better off if what we have is blown out to sea? KiZAN can identify areas which could be served by a combination of on-premises and cloud solutions to attain best case disaster preparedness.

It's time to stop making excuses. Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity is a very real issue that needs to be addressed in a thoughtful and thorough manner.
