An untested “Disaster Recovery Plan” must not be considered sufficient. Only by stressing the system and testing real-world scenarios will it reveal if it is likely to work. Testing and repeat testing until your minimum business survivability applications are running is the only way to make sure you will be properly protected in the event of an actual disaster. We know disaster recovery and how to test for it properly.
Altus used our extensive expertise and experience to create a groundbreaking tool called “Elemental DR.”
Elemental DR is a Disaster Recovery test tracking tool. It helps you manage the hardware, applications and validations needed to successfully complete a DR test. Using this tool will assist companies to manage the DR inventories (outsourced or insourced) and the applications/people/contacts and results. Elemental DR provides a web-based tracking dashboard that will delight executive management and end-users participating in the event.
