Virtualization Lesson #2: The Sorcerer's Apprentice
There's a downside to virtualization. It’s easy to look at the great virtualization tool in the cloud and consider it the magic solution for data consolidation, centralization and cost-savings. But, it really provides only one solution: making information easier to manage or provision.
But, just because you’ve consolidated and centralized, the complexity doesn't disappear. In virtualization, every time you cut something in two, it splits in two again.

Reasons for wanting or understanding that some recovery assessment is needed.
The risk assessment is needed to help you figure out, "Do I really want to expend the resources to attack?" or "Are there voids, and do I really want to spend the resources to correct them?" The fundamental questions in a recovery assessment are, "From what? To where?" and "How quickly?"
some people may say nothing. Some people may say, "I can have zero disruption." Well that leads to a different architectural assessment that says, "How are you protecting yourself against that today?" You know, if they've already made the investment in completely redundant and data replication infrastructure, then they're in great shape, period.

Why do you need a recovery strategy in place?
Everybody talks about disaster recovery, but what really constitutes a disaster to you or your business? Can it be somewhat subjective? I mean a huge overlap from business one to business two to business three. But when you really look at the issues surrounding how long can my systems be down before I'm truly impacting my business? A completely, legitimate DR strategy can just be an assessment and a set of manual procedures in place, pre‑placed that says I thought about it, I thought about how I'd do it, I'd do it this way and if the event occurs and I need to invoke it, I'm not making it up on the fly.

There seems to always be a lot of talk about disaster preparedness after a disaster occurs. The recent floods in the South East, and Tornados in the Midwest are a not to subtle remainder that disaster can strike a business no matter were you are located. The issue is that in a disaster country until after they have issue at a pair of days don't always think the whole process through from beginning to end. Most smaller companies that have a disaster recovery plan where they think they have a disaster recovery plan basis on the back up that they do on their servers nightly and then store them on top of the server in the same cabinet with the server which is great as long as they don't catch on fire with the other components that are in the server area and even those who take me take home what happens when the server is off catches on fire or is flooded out how do you restore the tapes and get the business back business recently I was lucky enough to be part of a seminar put on by MHA consulting the focus is on business continuity and they have a caller business continuity process that has the three steps including crisis management business recovery IT disaster recovery planning.
