How do I implement a business continuity plan?
Effective disaster mitigation requires the deployment of mission critical applications in at least two geographically distributed and multi-homed data centers. F5 solutions include global traffic management, secure remote access for users, protection of applications exposed to public networks, timely application state sharing (i.e. database replication) between data centers, and fast storage replication over the WAN. Deploying these solutions can help you achieve the best recovery time objectives (RTO) and improved recovery point objectives (RPO).
