Assume a tornado destroyed Walmarts primary data center What

Assume a tornado destroyed Walmart’s primary data center. What kinds of strategies must Walmart have in place to be able to continue business in the face of this kind of disaster?

Solution

There may be a need of a data center recovery plan, taking in account that the data center\'s overall integrity was totally destroyed because of the nature of the disruption.

However, since the tornado destroyed the primary data center, they will probably need to start all over, gathering as much information as they can from backups.

First, Walmart is going to need is money to recover and regenerate its data center, taking in account the lost equipments and the work hours of the people that is going to make the recovery.

Since Walmart is one of the world\'s largest company by revenue and widely known, they may begin a special publicity campaign in order to touch the feeling of its clients, focusing on \"helping\" Walmart by increasing the amount of bought products, and whatever approach that may help Walmart to increase the earnings that will allow the company pay recovery (or regeneration) of its data center.

Meanwhile, if there is not any backup or previous system that allow Walmart continue selling products easily, they should first solve this problem (as soon as possible) in order to be able to sell products.

They may contact any computer scientist in order to get the best solution to this transient problem. If there is not any data, they will probably need to look for its basics backups and start all over from that.
