Disaster Recovery and Redundancy Strategies
Develop strategies for disaster recovery and implement redundancy measures to ensure continuous availability of your billing system.
Why DR & Redundancy Matter
Imagine your billing system goes down. What happens? Lost revenue, unhappy customers, and damaged reputation. For critical systems like billing, continuous availability is paramount.
In this lesson, we'll explore strategies to protect your system from failures and ensure it keeps running smoothly, even during unexpected events.
Defining Disaster Recovery (DR)
Disaster Recovery (DR) is a set of policies and procedures to enable the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems after a natural or human-induced disaster.
- RTO (Recovery Time Objective): The maximum acceptable downtime for your system. How quickly must it be back online?
- RPO (Recovery Point Objective): The maximum acceptable amount of data loss. How much data can you afford to lose?
Defining these helps you choose the right strategies.
