Imagine! You are responsible for business recovery planning at your corporate data center, and you have a staff of one. Your job is to properly maintain and test the recovery plans for your organization's mainframe and midrange computer systems. Occasionally you have been invited to provide business recovery consulting to an interested affiliate. However, those opportunities have been rare, because outside the data center the need for business recovery planning is either unrecognized, not a priority, or not mandated. Suddenly, a corporate directive places you at the center of a requirement to produce a plan encompassing your organization's entire distributed data infrastructure. Your first reaction is one of elation_your moment has come! However, as reality settles in, you realize the magnitude of the challenges you now face.
