-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 9:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Poll - Distance between Data Center and DR
<SNIP> I have been trying to determine this in a generic way. Not based on what we have for connectivity. But what would be a good business case to show upper management that if we had XX miles between our data centers, then a regional issue would not take out our business. But if we were only 4 miles apart, we would be in a world of hurt. <SNIP> 1) Where do you need to be to have a different electric power provider (different grid attachment)? 2) Where do you need to be to have a different Gas provider? 3) Where do you need to be to have a different water supply? 4) Where do you need to be to not be affected by a transportation crash? (truck, air, train) 5) Where do you need to be to have different supplier warehouse basis? 6) Where do you need to be to have different communications trunks? 7) How do you get sufficient temporary housing for your critical people? (Hotels may not cut it) 8) Do you need a hot, warm or cold facility? And as other posters have said, much of this kind of thing depends on what level of disaster you can or want to recover from.
