In a world where data has become so vital for the (global) economy, Data Disasters can have a serious impact. Disasters can come from many angles, human, natural or otherwise and without a proper disaster recovery plan organisations can lose revenue, customers and potentially go out of business. According to the Ponemon Institutes Cost of Downtime Study, a minute of downtime has increased by 40% in the past three years to $ 7.908,- so there is every reasons why an organisation should be prepared. SingleHop has released an infographic that gives us more insights in the different types of technology disasters that can occur, some shocking stats about the results of business downtime, and most importantly, a step by step process for implementing a proper recovery strategy. So, when developing your big data strategy, ensure that you include a plan how to deal with problems with your data as well as a crisis plan when things do go wrong.
