IDC PlanScape: Disaster Recovery Testing for On-Premises, Hybrid Cloud, Multicloud, and DRaaS Models
This IDC PlanScape discusses the importance of comprehensive disaster recovery testing and how processes and requirements have changed as the methods of disaster recovery have evolved. It also explains the technical and business benefits of frequent DR testing and discusses the value of stakeholder buy-in, comprehensive runbooks, and automation."When people try to recover in a disaster scenario, they normally fail more than once, so they will fix things and try again until they get it right," says Phil Goodwin, research vice president for Infrastructure Software Platforms at IDC. "That's the point of testing: to get it right before a disaster occurs."
