COOP and DR Definitions

COOP / DR

Continuity of Operations Plan Guided by FEMA established policies, definitions and assumptions that form the framework for emergency preparedness. Includes the activities ensuring that essential functions which enable agencies to provide vital services, exercise civil authority, maintain the safety and well being of the general populace, and sustain the industrial/economic based in an emergency are performed. Disaster Recovery Plan (DR) Recovery of information technology assets, data, and services required to support critical business functions

Note: Backup/Recovery are different from Disaster Recovery

Business Impact Analysis

When creating Disaster Recovery Plans, agencies identify their critical systems and document the operational, legal, and financial impact from a disruption or disaster affecting any computer or telecommunication service area of the agency. We are asking that Agencies work with CTS to collaborate regarding critical systems which are dependent on CTS systems.

5

Disaster Recovery Terms

When planning for recovery, agencies identify RTO and RPO for their systems. A recovery time objective (RTO) is the period within which systems, processes, services, or functions must be recovered after an outage. A recovery point objective (RPO) is more specific to information systems. It is the amount of data that can be lost measured by a time index. Agencies should work with CTS to collaborate regarding recovery objectives that are dependent on CTS systems.

6

DR Site and Data Replication Terms

DR Site Options/Methodologies Hot (space, equipment, and data already present - only minor configurations changes needed) Warm (space and equipment is in place but typically has to be built/configured/data restored) Cold (space reserved with no equipment) Data Replication Options/Methodologies: Active/Active (synchronous) Active/Passive (asynchronous) Restoration from backup
