Presentation Script: Disaster Recovery Plan for Local Area Network (LAN) System at PTC Organization
Slide 1: Title Slide
Speaker Notes:
Good [morning/afternoon], everyone. Today, I will be presenting the Disaster Recovery Plan for the Local Area Network, or LAN, system at PTC Organization. This plan is crucial in ensuring that our critical IT infrastructure and business operations can recover quickly and efficiently in the event of any disaster.

Slide 2: Overview
Speaker Notes:
Our LAN infrastructure is the backbone of essential business processes at PTC. It supports file sharing, database management, domain services, and intranet applications. The primary goal of this Disaster Recovery Plan, or DRP, is to minimize downtime and data loss during disasters. To achieve this, we leverage robust backup systems, failover solutions, and a designated hot site.

This plan is tailored to our infrastructure's specific needs, ensuring continuity and resilience.

Slide 3: Primary and Hot Site Servers
Speaker Notes:
Let’s take a closer look at our servers:

Primary Server: Located at our College Street office in Pateros, Metro Manila.

Model: HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2022
Key Specifications:
2 Intel Xeon Gold CPUs
256 GB of RAM
8 TB of RAID 10 storage
Redundant power supplies and NICs ensure hardware resilience.
Hot Site Server: This is located at the San Pedro Campus in Pateros and acts as our failover server.

Model: HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10
Operating System: Windows Server 2019
Specifications include 128 GB RAM and 3 TB of RAID 5 storage.
It supports essential backup services, such as file sharing, database replication, and intranet hosting.
Having this redundancy enables us to quickly restore services even during severe outages.

Slide 4: Applications
Speaker Notes:
Our LAN system hosts several critical applications:

Primary Site Applications:

File Sharing Services
Database Management using SQL Server
Active Directory for domain services
Intranet Hosting
Hot Site Applications:

File Sharing Services
Backup SQL Server database
Backup Intranet Hosting
By having mirrored functionality at the hot site, we ensure business continuity in case of disasters.

Slide 5: Backup Strategy
Speaker Notes:
Regular backups are essential for effective disaster recovery. Here’s our backup strategy:

Daily Backups: Performed at 3:00 AM every day.
Monthly Backups: Scheduled for the first Saturday of each month.
Quarterly Backups: Conducted on the first Sunday of every quarter.
These backups are stored securely offsite and are regularly tested to ensure data integrity and reliability.

Slide 6: Disaster Recovery Procedures
Speaker Notes:
Our recovery procedures are designed to address specific scenarios. Let’s explore two critical scenarios:

Total Loss of Data:

Notify the IT Manager and stakeholders.
Access offsite backups to restore critical files and applications.
Conduct verification tests to ensure the integrity of restored data.
Total Loss of Hardware:

Replace failed hardware with equivalent or upgraded equipment.
Reconfigure the system and restore data from backups.
Test all restored services to ensure they function correctly.
These steps ensure that we can resume operations as quickly as possible.

Slide 7: Risk Management
Speaker Notes:
Effective disaster recovery requires understanding potential risks. Here are some examples:

Server Room Fire:

Probability: Low; Impact: High
Consequences: Total hardware and data loss
Mitigation: Install fire suppression systems and maintain offsite backups.
Cyberattacks (Ransomware):

Probability: Medium; Impact: Medium
Consequences: Service disruption and data theft
Mitigation: Conduct security audits and use updated antivirus software.
Power Outages:

Probability: High; Impact: Medium
Mitigation: Use UPS systems and backup generators to maintain uptime.
By evaluating risks and implementing mitigation strategies, we can better prepare for potential disasters.

Slide 8: Emergency Contacts
Speaker Notes:
Having an efficient communication structure during disasters is crucial. Here are the key contacts:

System Owner: Reagan Ricafort – 09583468120
Database Owner: Irene Green – 09567122951
Application Owner: Bryony Castillo – 09345688139
Offsite Storage Contact: Omar Holt – 09984568124
These individuals are trained and ready to respond to incidents, ensuring that recovery efforts are coordinated and efficient.

Slide 9: Recovery Timeline
Speaker Notes:
Time is critical in disaster recovery. Our recovery timeline includes:

Emergency-Level Service: Within 2 business hours.
Key Services Restored: Within 4 business hours.
Full Recovery: Within 8 to 24 hours.
This timeline ensures that we prioritize critical services while restoring full operations within a day.

Slide 10: Conclusion
Speaker Notes:
In conclusion, our LAN Disaster Recovery Plan is designed to provide a structured, efficient response to any incident that threatens our IT systems. By leveraging robust infrastructure, comprehensive backups, and a dedicated hot site, we aim to ensure continuity and resilience for PTC’s critical business operations.

Thank you for your attention. I’m happy to take any questions.
