Paper details
- Read over the information presented in the State College DRP Information document.
- Create a list of all possible threats to State College – both natural and man-made, both internal and external. Be very comprehensive…there are a lot of possibilities. Assign possibilities and downtime impact assessments to each of the threats. (Use the template provided).
- Based on what you read, what type of disaster recovery approach would you suggest for State College?
Hot Site? Warm Site? Cold Site? No Off-Site? Thoroughly explain your reasoning for the option that you
chose. - Thinking about the major areas of a college’s IT systems like admissions, enrollment/registrar, payroll,
student accounts, content/course management (like Blackboard), the college website and network storage,
what do you think the recovery time objectives need to be for each? - Who would you assign responsibility for creating the DRP plan and leading the DRP recovery team? Who else should be on the team? What should their responsibilities be?
- Make a list of tasks that need to be completed by the team to create a comprehensive DRP plan. Look at
the example template in your readings for some ideas. - Create a professional document addressed to State College outlining all of the above areas (#2-6) for
their disaster recovery preparations.
