IT Business Continuity with Disaster Recovery Focus

Our Goal: We are slowly moving to cloud based servers, however we do not have a detailed disaster recovery plan created. Our goal is to have the students review and evaluate our current business continuity procedures (at the moment we have a few procedures in place however nothing concrete) then provide recommendations on updating plan. We want to develop a detailed, written business continuity plan following industry standards. What we expect the students to work on: Evaluate our current business continuity procedures Provide advice based on industry standards for creating a plan Our network is mostly virtualized (VMWare is the platform used) Currently using VMWare back up software. Create a failover system (ie create a plan to start up remotely or in the cloud should something occur in order to be able to provide IT services 24/7) Experience in networks and storage is preferred Expected Deliverable A written review and report of current and recommended disaster recovery plan based on industry standards.
