Course Overview
The documentation for data centre disaster recovery is accurate only until the next release. Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in disaster recovery whether or not anyone says so. The programme works equally well for those formalising the technology and systems delivery capability for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Across sectors, teams that rehearse data centre disaster recovery outperform teams that only plan it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the practice within technology and systems delivery, ready to be adapted internally. The programme is built to be used, and every section of disaster recovery it covers ends in something applicable. Plans for data centre disaster recovery often fail at the handover point between functions. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of disaster recovery rather than to abstract argument. The final module sets out how progress on this aspect of technology and systems delivery will be evidenced six months later.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Build the deployment pipeline for data centre disaster recovery so releases are routine rather than events.
Build incident response for disaster recovery with defined severity and escalation.
Design backup and recovery for data centre disaster recovery and prove it by restoring.

Disaster recovery: capacity, performance and load
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Designing disaster recovery around how it will fail
- Inventory third-party dependencies inside data centre disaster recovery and their update status.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about disaster recovery.
- Restore a backup of data centre disaster recovery in a test environment and time it.
- Agree what will be standardised in disaster recovery and what will not.
Session 2Running an incident on disaster recovery calmly
- Test the failover for data centre disaster recovery rather than assuming it works.
- Confirm every release of disaster recovery can be rolled back within a defined time.
- Test the procedure for data centre disaster recovery against a realistic scenario.
