Data recovery firms slog through the post-Katrina Gulf Coast
A C|Net News article by Alorie Gilbert, via SFGate.com, reports that:
Hewlett-Packard, IBM, SunGard Data Systems and other companies have been working with dozens of Gulf Coast businesses to keep their computer systems running in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but the service companies say many were unprepared for the disaster.
IBM, which has about 100 disaster recovery clients in the hurricane-ravaged region, said last week that dozens of affected companies had switched on backup networks and data centers in Big Blue facilities as far away as Boulder, Colo.
HP's disaster recovery clients are working mainly out of the company's Alpharetta, Ga., offices. A few clients also requested mobile trailers complete with servers, satellite communications, generators and office equipment, said Belinda Wilson, director of HP business continuity services.
The computer services companies declined to name their clients, citing confidentiality agreements, but said they include banks, insurance companies, health care organizations, oil and chemical companies, manufacturers and government agencies.
