Disaster recovery sites

Data centers need to be equipped with the appropriate disaster recovery systems that minimize downtime for its customers. This means that every data center needs to invest in solutions, such as power backup and remote management. Downtime can be eliminated by having proper disaster recovery (DR) plans for mission-critical types of organisations, so as to be prepared when disaster strikes. Some of the larger IT organizations, which cannot tolerate too much downtime, tend to set up their DR site as a hot site, where both the primary and DR sites are kept in real-time synchronization , all the time.
