Over 25% of All Enterprises Faced a Disaster in the Last 5 Years
Janco has found that more than a 26% of its client firms have faced some sort of a disaster over the past five years. CIOs need to convince executives in their enterprise to invest in business continuity and disaster recovery systems. CIO need to effectively communicate that business continuity and disaster recovery planning is not just an insurance policy.
CIOs know their systems are vulnerable and they want to do something about it. In these tough economic times, it is hard to get funding for business continuity and disaster recovery. CIOs who tie business continuity and disaster recovery planning to mandated compliance needs are more successful in obtaining the necessary funding.
Many of these same companies consider disaster recovery investment as a rolling upgrade that consistently augments existing infrastructure and application investments rather than a one-time event that can be delayed.
In one research study by another firm many CIOs blamed disasters on non-natural disruptions and incidents. The data shows that 42% of the firms surveyed said power failure was the most common cause of declared disasters and downtime, while 32% cited hardware failure, and 21% cited network failure.
