Section 10. Rebuilding process

The management team must assess the damage and begin the reconstruction of a new data center.

If the original site must be restored or replaced, the following questions are some of the factors to consider:

  • What is the projected availability of all needed computer equipment?
  • Will it be more effective and efficient to upgrade the computer systems with newer equipment?
  • What is the estimated time needed for repairs or construction of the data site?
  • Is there an alternative site that more readily can be upgraded for computer purposes?

After the decision to rebuild the data center has been made, go to Section 12. Disaster site rebuilding.
