Scenario: Performing recovery operations

One of the reasons that the JKL Toy Company chose BRMS as its backup and recovery solution is because it makes full system recoveries much easier.

Sharon and her team are developing ways for JKL to expand their business over the Internet, and they recognize that system availability is key if they want to play in the Internet market. Any system downtime could mean a loss of sales and a loss of customer satisfaction. BRMS simplifies system recoveries so that, should disaster strike, they can get their system back online as quickly as possible.

BRMS also makes it very easy to restore a single item that has been accidentally deleted or corrupted. This is a task that Sharon does pretty regularly, as their developers work in a fast paced environment.

In addition to using BRMS, Sharon has a contract with IBM® Business Continuity and Recovery Services. This contract ensures that she has an offsite system to use in the event of a disaster; Sharon goes to the recovery hotsite twice a year to perform full system recoveries. Her contract with IBM Business Continuity and Recovery Services gives her an extra measure of security because she knows she can recover any of her systems should the need arise.
