Currently we're handling our hardware or site level disaster recovery with an essentially cold machine in an alternate site, a CBU entitlement allows us to spin it up and run recoveries. We've been pitched CMP (Country multiplex pricing) because there is a potential requirement to be able to run out of one site or another for a period of months. One assumption is that the capability stays in house.
I've been asked to solicit this list for answers to a couple of questions. Are there alternatives to either of these arrangements that allows a customer to support production processing capacity in two sites without incurring the extra cost of CMP, or even the CBU? If you've implemented CMP, did it have an effect on your expenses one way or another? I don't know if these are appropriate questions in this forum but if they are I'd be grateful to learn of alternatives we should look into.
