Question:
Power Loss Mitigation Strategies
This response will discuss mitigation strategies to enable business continuity in the event of a power outage in a small office.
Strategies investigated include the installation of a standby generator, increased Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) capacity, off-site replication of business critical data, telecommunications redundancy and off-site storage of systems backups.
It is estimated that three out of five businesses that experience downtime of 48 hours or more will be out of business within 3 years. Creating a technology risk mitigation and data protection plan requires people, process and technology in the right recipe to be successful.
