Business Impact Analysis

• A BIA is designed to identify
• The business functions performed by an
  organization
• The resources required to support each business
  function performed
• Interdependencies between business functions
  (the information flow)
• The impact/criticality of not performing a
  specific business function
• A Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for each
  business function
• A Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for the data
  that supports each
• business function

• Operational Impact
• Simplified Administration with consolidated
  infrastructure
• Improved Network Security
• Disaster Recovery capable at a lower cost
• Reduced Help Desk Requirements
• Flexible and Scalability built in for future
  growth

When we needed to upgrade our environment we
partnered with Custom Storage who helped us to
develop a solution that supported technology
upgrades such as EMR and surgical video
streaming, provided flexibility to consolidate
critical environments such as Exchange, SQL and
file shares and incorporated redundancy
supporting our long team DR strategy. Steve
