Abstract
This chapter highlights the increasing number of options available to the contingency planner. It discusses various available options for evaluating alternative facilities and their advantages and disadvantages. These are reciprocal arrangements, co-operative arrangements, service bureau, vendor agreement, cold start, relocatable, mobile, warm start, hot start, and fault tolerant systems. An alternative processing facility, whether owned or a contracted third party site, should be evaluated to ensure that sufficient resources are available to fully support the emergency processing for the designated period. On having fully evaluated the chosen option, a contract will be signed. Network recovery illustrates that the role of telecommunications in its support of an organization's essential operations cannot be understated. A strategy is, therefore, needed to address business recovery planning for telecommunications resources. The loss of information contained within media would have a catastrophic effect on an organization, and companies take many precautions to protect their computer installations against fire, flood, malicious damage, or the inevitable accident.
