An End-User Study: Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Adoption

This IDC study presents the results of IDC Asia/Pacific's IT and Managed Services Survey, 2006 with specific focus on business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR). Some key statistical findings are in the area of current BC/DR adoption trends, BC/DR management and organization, and impact of compliance on spending.

"The current maturity levels of the industries in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region position it to be a prime opportunity for implementing BC/DR solutions and consolidation of resources/datacenters. The implementation activities around integration of storage systems and servers as well as applications/databases are coming to a convergence point. This also implies a significant advantage to offer integrated solutions with applications/databases and servers with strong partnerships with best-of-breed providers, including telecommunication providers, to offer premium solutions to customers," says Timothy Wong, market analyst, Services Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
