Chris Phillips’ Blog - API, Integration and Governance

Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective are the most important requirements designing a HA or DR solution. High Availability (HA) will have a very low RTO and RPO, is automatic and usually achieved by having multiple systems running concurrently. Disaster Recovery is normally a longer manual process that often is triggered when a DataCenter has had a disaster, In this Article I will go through the time line that needs to be considered for an RTO. I will not go into RPO details here but I will probably do a follow up article if it is requested.

I spend a lot of time advising clients on what they need to keep their system operational. The topic of a RunBook / Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is always interesting. In my experience only 50-60% of clients have one, 30% of clients know what should go into one but have not yet written it and 10% of clients don’t think they need it.
