Developing a Disaster Recovery Plan

This section contains general guidelines for developing a disaster recovery plan. During the implementation phase, Veson Nautical reviews the existing disaster recovery hardware and software plan and tailors this information to your requirements. This is particularly important if other applications will be communicating with IMOS via the XML interfaces or otherwise.

Existing best practices apply to IMOS. The core of IMOS resides in the database, and the most important element of disaster recovery is to ensure that users are always able to access an up-to-date database. Several third-party vendors have applications for best practices that you should consider in developing a complete disaster recovery plan.

Recommended Hardware Configuration for Off-Site Installation

In the event of a catastrophic failure at the primary site, we recommend the setup of an off-site IMOS server environment. This includes the database and applications, which can be restored at any time using the backups outlined above. Generally, we recommend Terminal Server access to the off-site server, so that users can gain access to the system with just an Internet connection.
