Disaster Recovery

Creating a voice communication technology disaster recovery plan -- one that responds to and eventually recovers the systems and/or network services -- can be a straightforward process.

The keys to a successful plan are to: 

  • Understand the risks to the voice infrastructure
  • Collaborate with vendors and network service providers as much as possible
  • Define step-by-step procedures for response and recovery
  • Validate these actions through exercising
  • And keep the plan and its various components up to date
