Anatomy of an Outage: Part IV
When you understand the anatomy of an outage and all of its stages, you can plan effectively and make good decisions. You can also develop proposals to take to management that they will understand in business terms.
Don’t be fooled by a “failover in minutes” pitch. It’s easy to avoid overpromising and under delivering when you understand all the implications – and the costs – associated with each stage of an outage.
Stage Review
- Awareness – Figure out if you are having an outage and understand what is causing it.
- Resolution – Decide on how to fix the problem. Is it a quick fix or is a failover required?
- Failover – Assuming there is no quick fix, failover to your backup systems.
- Recovery – restore services to your production servers/site and reinstitute your normal BC/DR practices.
