NYSE technical glitch highlights concerns as to when an organisation should invoke its DR plans. Deciding whether to failover to a secondary site or wait it out and fix the problem in-house is one of the toughest decisions businesses face during an outage. Oscar Arean, technical operations manager from disaster recovery service provider Databarracks, says this is a situation many organisations still struggle with when they suffer a outage. Arean: A lot of organisations will have very comprehensive traditional disaster recovery plans in place but are likely to only invoke these for very significant outages lasting several days.”]
