Are Disaster Recovery and High-Availability requirements to implement SharePoint or to expand your current SharePoint farm? This session will cover how to implement an infrastructure that supports up to 99.999% High Availability farm, covering SQL server, SharePoint services and servers, and other related components.

6. Business Continuity
Encompasses a loosely defined set of planning, preparatory and
related activities which are intended to ensure that an organization's
critical business functions will either continue to operate
despite serious incidents or disasters that might otherwise have
interrupted them, or will be recovered to an operational state within a
reasonably short period.

7. Disaster Recovery
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a documented process or set of
procedures to recover and protect a business IT infrastructure in the
event of a disaster. Such plan, ordinarily documented in
written form, specifies procedures an organization is to follow in the
event of a disaster. The disaster could be natural, environmental or
man-made. Man-made disasters could be intentional (for example, an
act of a terrorist) or unintentional (that is, accidental, such as the
breakage of a man-made dam).

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
Acceptable amount of data loss measured in time
Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
Duration of time within which a business process must be restored after a disaster
RPO RTO
Example:
RPO of 1 hour
RTO of 3 hours
