Co-location recovery services for the data center provide the organization with a level of redundancy and business continuity that the organization cannot achieve in-house. Many organizations engage in co-location purely for recovery services; however, recovery services criteria can also be used to differentiate vendor offerings.
This checklist provides:
- Criteria items for consideration when addressing recovery services.
- A full description of each item and its importance.
- Examples of criteria and questions to address in the RFP.
Include recovery services criteria in the selection process, based on business needs and requirements, to ensure that the vendor can support growth and future service needs.
