1 PLAYING IT SAFE: How Strong is Your Network s Disaster Recovery Operation? Executive Survey Summary October 2010 In Partnership with: Produced by:
2 Introduction Government Technology, working in partnership with Cox Business, recently surveyed public sector executives to understand their challenges in designing an IT environment that helps mitigate risk and improve recovery times. Clearly, as governments become increasingly dependent upon keeping applications and data flowing and equally less tolerant of failure an increased focus is being given to vulnerabilities in recovery operations. 39% of organizations experienced more than five network disruptions in the past twelve months. The most common cause was a loss of a critical infrastructure component (65%), but natural disasters(15%) and man-made events(12%) were also a factor. That adds up to a major risk area and a real opportunity for improvement. The costs and consequences of these network disruptions tell us that disaster recovery is a highstakes game. 78% said that productivity and the availability of their workforce would diminish, followed by 46% reported that public confidence in their agency would suffer. The financial costs of an outage were also high, with 30% of respondents saying that a 24-hour outage would cost their agency more than $100,000. 6% went further, saying such a disruption would cost them more than $500,000. Jurisdictions were just as clear about their recommended solution. Respondents cite redundant network carriers and ISPs as the primary requirement for meeting their recovery point objective in a disaster situation. In fact, more than 51% said that improving network redundancy is their most important area for improvement. They also told us that the most prominent gap in today s disaster recovery plans is support for teleworkers (47%) and instantaneous system switchover (47%). Disaster recovery is clearly a pressing concern to ensure every aspect of today s government is available continuously without interruption, regardless of circumstance. Respondent Overview This survey was completed by a random sampling of Government Technology s public sector subscriber base including CIOs, IT management, agency heads and operational support. Respondents were solicited via two invitations directing them to the online questionnaire. All aspects of this survey including questionnaire review, promotional outreach, response capture and report preparation have been completed by Government Technology. 2
