	(iv) Storage replication-Storage replication is a service in which stored or archived data is duplicated in real time over a storage area network. Storage replication service provides an extra measure of redundancy that can be invaluable if the main storage backup system fails. Storage replication may be done in the same storage array, different storage arrayfs in the same location or a storage array in a remote location. Immediate access to the replicated dataminimizes downtime and its associated costs. The service, if properly implemented,

	(v) Disaster Recovery - The process, policies and procedures related to preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure critical to an organization after anatural or human induced disaster. Disaster recovery planning is a subset of a larger process known as business Continuity planning and should include planning for resumption of applications, data, hardware, Communications (such as networking) and other IT infrastructure. A business continuity plan (BCP) includes planning for non-IT related aspects such as key personnel, facilities, Crisis communication and reputation protection, and should refer to the disaster recovery plan (DRP) for Trelated infrastructure recovery/continuity.
