Key Strategies For Data Center Disaster Recovery

Data centers power everything from texting and streaming services to essential government, education, and healthcare applications, forming the backbone of modern life.

As global dependence on these facilities grows, it’s more important than ever to keep them secure and fully operational. Therefore, organizations managing digital infrastructure must implement robust disaster recovery plans for their data centers.

While progress has been made to prevent data center downtime through better construction, backups, and secondary power sources, centers remain vulnerable to unforeseen events like natural disasters, human error, and cyber-attacks.

Though preventing every disaster is impossible, organizations must prepare for the worst. Developing a comprehensive disaster recovery plan is key to ensuring data centers are equipped to handle unexpected disruptions.
