In an increasingly digital world, the preservation and availability of data is of paramount importance. Businesses and organizations rely on datacenters to store, process, and manage their vast amounts of data. However, these datacenters are not invincible; they are susceptible to a multitude of disasters, both natural and man-made. This is where the concept of disaster recovery comes into play.
Disaster recovery (DR) encompasses the policies, tools, and procedures that are implemented to enable the recovery and continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster. The primary goal of disaster recovery is to minimize downtime and data loss – two variables that can severely impact a business’s operations and reputation.
Load testing is an essential component of the pre-production phase, with the primary objective of verifying that the system can handle expected user traffic without compromising performance or functionality.
