Summary

Infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders have a growing number of services and tools to better prepare themselves for any type of event, whether it's natural or manmade; however, that doesn't mean that enterprises are able to recover with the minimal data loss and downtime that the business demands. The benchmarks found in this report are the result of several years of market studies on business continuity and disaster recovery developed in partnership with Forrester and the Disaster Recovery Journal. Specific benchmarks include process maturity, adoption of cloud and colocation disaster recovery sites, adoption of advanced recovery time and recovery point capabilities, top reasons for organizational downtime, and the driving forces behind improved DR capabilities. After reading this report, I&O pros will have a much better understanding of how other organizations are dealing with resiliency and, ultimately, which options to consider before planning future initiatives and investments.
