Abstract

It is extremely important for every data center to have a comprehensive disaster and emergency plan to ensure the continuity of operations and the safety of personnel and data in the facility. The preparation of a disaster and emergency plan should follow a number of points and have clearly formulated goals and objectives. The goals of the plan can be systematized as follows: Data Center Continuity; Personnel Safety; Data and Asset Protection; Timely Recovery; Effective Communication; Compliance and Regulatory Compliance. The objectives of the plan can be formulated as follows: Risk Mitigation; Emergency Response; Evacuation and Safety; Data Protection and Recovery; Security Measures; Resource Availability; Communication Plan; Training and Exercises; Documentation and Reporting; Plan Maintenance; Regulatory Compliance; Budget Allocation. By defining these clear goals and objectives, the data center disaster and emergency plan will serve as a strategic framework for addressing a wide range of potential issues and ensuring the resilience of the center's operations.
