Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Disaster recovery and business continuity (DRBC) systems allow firms to have contingency plans in place to keep the business running in the aftermath of natural or man-made circumstances that render their primary business premises or data center unusable. Risk management is a high-profile topic these days on both sides of the Atlantic — and DRBC fits squarely into the category of evaluating the risks that a business faces. But in order to succeed, risk management in general — and DRBC in particular — needs to have broad visibility across business units; it's one thing for IT to be aware of its responsibilities in this area, but quite another to get funding adequate to the task. While there are some small differences in how Europe and North America approach DRBC, the need for more attention from the business side cuts across geographies.
