    INTRODUCTION

    A disaster event can cause significant loss of the Universitys records and

    information technology systems and has the potential to cause major disturbance to the

    University's ability to operate effectively. This can result in financial loss, public

    embarrassment and a loss of credibility and goodwill.

    Xavier University Ateneo de Cagayan depends significantly on Information

    Technology Services as the campus service provider for computer-supported

    information processing, campus-wide networks, telecommunications, and technology

    support for University students, faculty, and staff. As a result of this ever-increasing

    reliance on technology, IT services require a comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan toassure these services can be re-established quickly and completely in event of a

    disaster. The plan provides guidelines for ensuring that needed personnel and

    resources are available for both disaster preparation and response and that the proper

    steps will be carried out to permit the timely restoration of services.

    The purpose of the Disaster preparation and recovery plan is to provide for the

    safety and well-being of people on the premises at the time of a disaster and it will

    address the continuity of the critical business operations. Through this planning, it will

    minimize the duration of a serious disruption to business operations and resources. In

    return, it will minimize immediate damage and losses and identify critical lines of

    business and supporting functions that will ensure organizational stability and orderly

    recovery.

    II. PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH

    Recently, there are major calamities that happened in the Philippines particularly

    in Cagayan de Oro city. Due to these unavoidable circumstances there will be possible

    major risk for the University in all aspects and it will affect its continuity in business.

    Therefore, there is a need for an updated disaster recovery plan.

    Identification of the responsible department for the assign task will be vital for this

    plan. All Departments, offices, staff, faculty and all the sector of the university must

    have the knowledge when or where to go if the calamity will happen. This will organize

    the man power support for the university and will have efficient response operation.

    III. PROJECT SCOPE

    The scope of this disaster recovery plan for Xavier University addresses

    scenarios where the information systems and related technological infrastructure are

    physically damaged and/or require relocation due to fire and earthquakes.

    This plan will only address the recovery of systems under the direct control of the

    Computing Services Department that are considered critical for business continuity. It

    has the overall Disaster Organization Chart but we are limited only to the Computer

    Science Recovery team. Also, given the uncertain impact of a given incident or disaster,

    it is not the intent of this document to provide specific recovery instructions for every

    system. Rather, this document will outline and a general planning of a recovery process

    which will lead to development of specific responses to any given incident or disaster.

    V. Communication Management Plan

    Communication Plan

    Xavier University Communication Plan is designed to provide an orderly flow of

    accurate, effective and timely information to the Xavier staff and campus during the

    onset of a crisis situation, or a situation of potential crisis affecting the University

    campus telephone, data network and, computer and information systems.

    It is the responsibility of each department to communicate with their customers and

    other Xavier staff. Coordinating with Campus Services Help Desk and other key entry

    points will provide the communication link in communicating service interruptions.

    Communication Guidelines

    The focus of this section is to decide in advance how every department will

    communicate with internal and external audiences in the event of an unplanned service

    interruption. This plan recognizes the importance of addressing and supporting

    communication needs and issues that emerge at the service level. Individual

    departments will need to extend this plan for the specific requirements of their area.

    Enterprise IT Emergency Communications

    During a campus IT emergency, defined as a serious situation not (or perhapsnot yet) having been declared a disaster, the IT Security Officer has primary

    responsibility for immediate response. All emergency IT messages will be sent to the

    college and departmental emergency contact list by the University IT Security Officer.

    a. Develop a Plan of Action.

    Determine how Xavier University Information Technology Services will

    respond to any service interruption by defining the specific actions to be taken,

    outlining the way that appropriate information should flow to different audiences, andidentifying appropriate spokespersons for various constituents. Particular attention

    should be paid to determine a priority order under which audiences will receive

    information, as well as a regular schedule of news updates. Each department will

    work with University Relations to gather accurate and substantial information

    regarding the situation and details regarding the University response. University

    Relations, working with the department, will provide notification to customers,

    employees, and the general public on progress toward recovery.

    Audiences/contacts that should be considered during a crisis:

    Chief Information Officer/Xavier University Information technology services Staff

    Campus ServicesInformation technology Services Help Desk

    Customers

    College/Unit IT Emergency Contacts

    University Administration

    University Relationsand the Public

    Public Safety

    Facilities Management

    Business Office

    University General Counsel

    b. Plan Enactment.

    Notices should be issued in a timely manner, before the story and speculation

    starts leaking out on its own. It is the organizations policy to be open and honest incommunication no matter where the blame lies. Provide factual information to

    University Relations and authorities as quickly as facts have been verified, and use

    every means of communications available to offset rumors and misstatements.

    c. Follow Up.

    After the plan is activated, the Disaster Recovery Manager will determine

    subsequent actions and decide if other employees need to be involved. The

    following information must be gathered and its accuracy verified to provide an

    incident report to the Director.

    What has happened?

    Who is involved?

    When did it happen?

    Was anyone injured?

    Could interruption have been prevented?

    Financial Loss?

    What impact may this crisis have on the organization:

    Does this situation run the risk of escalating in intensity?

    To what extent will the situation be noticed by the media and/or mon itored by

    governmental agencies?

    Will the situation interfere with normal site or business operations?

    Could this situation damage the organizations reputation?

    To what extent could this situation directly impact the organizations financial

    standing?

    Xavier Universi ty Communicat ion Gu idel ines

    University Relations serve as the authorized spokespersons for the Institution. All

    public information must be coordinated and disseminated by their staff. University policy

    requires that only certain administrators may speak on behalf of the University. In the

    event that regular telecommunications on campus are not available, University

    Relations will center media relations at a designated location. Information will be

    available there for the news media and, as possible, for faculty, staff, and students.

    Cellular and other emergency telephone numbers are available to Public Safety and

    other designated units. Official information will be made available as quickly as possible

    to the Campus Information Center.

    After hours a University Relations representative is on call evenings, weekends,

    and holidays to assist University units in communication with the campus and the

    general public dealing with media emergencies and other unusual circumstances. The

    representative on call will provide media assistance and alert appropriate University

    administrators as necessary.

    DATA CENTER Recovery Team:

    The Data Center Recovery Team is composed of personnel within Information

    Technology Services that support Xavier University central computing environment and

    the primary data center where all central IT services, the Networks Operations Center

    and other central computing resources are located. The primary function of this small

    working group is the restoration of the existing data center or the activation of the

    secondary data center depending on the severity of the disaster. This teams role is to

    restore the data center to a condition where individual recovery teams can accomplish

    their responsibilities with regard to server installation and application restoration.

    The team should be mobilized only in the event that a disaster occurs which

    impacts the ability of the existing central computing facility to support the servers and

    applications running there. The University President has the responsibility to keep the IT

    Director up to date regarding the nature of the disaster and the steps being taken to

    address the situation. The coordination of this recovery effort will normally be

    accomplished prior to most other recovery efforts on campus as having a central

    computing facility is a prerequisite for the recovery of most applications and IT services

    to the campus.

    DESKTOP Recovery Team:

    The Desktop Recovery Team is composed of personnel within the Information

    Technology Department that support Xavier Universitys desktop hardware, client

    applications, classrooms, labs and academic development systems. The primary

    is experienced on a normal day-to-day basis. The Head of Telecommunications has

    the responsibility to keep the IT Incident Director up to date regarding the nature of the

    disaster and the steps being taken to address the situation. The coordination of this

    recovery effort will be accomplished with other recovery efforts on campus by the IT

    Incident Director.

    DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

    A critical requirement for disaster recovery is ensuring that all necessary

    information is available to assure that hardware, software, and data can be returned to a

    state as close to pre-disaster as possible. Specifically, this section addresses the

    backup and storage policies as well as documentation related to hardware

    configurations, applications, operating systems, support packages, and operating

    procedures.

    Data Recovery Information:

    Backup/Recovery disks and tapes are required to return systems to a state

    where they contain the information and data that was resident on the system shortly

    prior to the disaster. At Xavier University full backups of all servers are performed

    weekly. Those servers not in the full backup list have an incremental done.

    Backup/Recovery tapes are stored in the locations and for the retention periods outlined

    summarized in the table below:

    Daily Period Storage Location Authorized Personnel

    Weekly Backup Xavier University Data

    Center

    Network and Operation

    Personel

    Central Data Center and Server Recovery Information:

    In the event of any disaster which disrupts the operations in the Data Center,

    reestablishing the Data Center will be the highest priority and a prerequisite for any IT

    recovery. As such, Information Technology Services is required to have detailed

    information and records on the configuration of the Data Center and all servers and

    equipment located in the Data Center. Detailed information is documented in the

  • 8/11/2019 Mercado Gaamil Proj Mgmt Plan Proj2 Final

    21/30

    21

    database and this database is updated and copied monthly to CD and stored in a vault

    with the backup tapes. The operations staff is responsible for keeping the hardware

    inventory up to date.

    Network & Telecommunication Recovery Information:

    In the event of any disaster which disrupts the network and/or

    telecommunications, reestablishing the connectivity and telephony will be a high priority

    and a prerequisite for any IT recovery. Recovery of these services will be accomplished

    in parallel or immediately following recovery of the Data Center. As such, Information

    Technology Services is required to have detailed information and records on the

    configuration of the networking equipment. Detailed information of switches and routers

    is documented in the database and this database is updated and copied monthly to CD

    and stored in the vault with the backup tapes. The networking staff is responsible for

    keeping the networking inventory up to date.

    Application Recovery Information:

    Information necessary for the recovery and proper configuration of all application

    software located on the central servers is critical to assure that applications are

    recovered in the identical configuration as they existed prior to the disaster. Detailed

    DISASTER RECOVERY PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES

    Incident Command Team: The role of the IT Disaster Recovery Team (under

    the direction of the Incident Director) is to coordinate activities from initial notification to

    recovery completion. Primary initial activities of the team are:

    Incident Occurrence: Upon the occurrence of an incident affecting the IT

    services at Xavier University, the Head & Assistant Head of Information Technology will

    be notified by campus security and/or other individuals. Personnel reporting the incident

    will provide a high-level assessment as to the size and extent of the damage. Based on

    this information, the assistant Head of IT will assume his/her responsibilities as the

    Incident Director, and will contact the other members of the Incident Command Team,

    and provide them with the following basic information:

    Brief overview of the incident, buildings affected, etc.

    Which Incident Command Headquarters (ICH) will be used

    Scheduled time to meet at the ICH for initial briefing

    Any additional information beneficial at this point. No other staff members are to be

    contacted at this point, unless directed by the Incident Director.

    Incident Assessment: The IT Disaster Recovery Team will receive an initial

    briefing from the Incident Director (ID) and any other personnel invited to the meeting.

    The Disaster Recovery Team will assess the situation, perform a walk-through of

    affected areas as allowed, and make a joint determination as to the extent of the

    damage and required recovery effort. Based on this assessment, the team will make a

    determination as to whether the situation can be classified as routine and handled

    expeditiously via normal processes, or if a formal IT disaster needs to be declared.

    Once an IT disaster has been declared, and the preceding steps to notify the XU

    Management Team and the Recovery Teams have been accomplished, ongoing

    responsibilities of the Incident Command Team and Director include:

    the status of the recovery effort. Only the XU Management Team and/or their

    designees will provide updates to other campus and external agencies (media,

    etc.)

    Approve and acquire recovery resources identified by individual recovery

    teams.

    Interface with other activities and authorities directly involved in the Disaster

    Recovery (Police, Fire, Department of Public Works, XU Teams, etc.)

    Identify and acquire additional resources necessary to support the overall

    Disaster Recovery effort. These can include 1) acquiring backup generators and

    utilities, 2) arranging for food/refreshments for recovery teams, etc.

    Make final determination and assessment as to recovery status, and determine

    when IT services can resume at a sufficient level.

    Disaster Recovery Teams: Disaster Recovery Teams are organized to respond to

    disasters of various type, size, and location. Any or all of these teams may be mobilized

    depending on the parameters of the disaster. It is the responsibility of the Incident

    Command Team to determine which Disaster Recover Teams to mobilize, following the

    declaration of a disaster and notification of the Xavier University Management Team.

    Each team will utilize their respective procedures, disaster recovery information,

    technical expertise, and recovery tools to expeditiously and accurately return their

    systems to operational status. While recovery by multiple teams may be able to occur in

    minutes minimum resistance) and non-flammable materials. Separating walls within

    IT facilities shall offer at least 30 minutes of fire resistance and be made of non-

    flammable materials. They shall reach form the raw floor to the raw ceiling. IT

    equipment should possibly be distributed to several rooms.

    IT areas shall not be located in the same fire zone as other high hazards. High

    hazard shall be separated by fire break walls or complex separation walls with

    increased stability requirements in the case of fire and made of non-flammable

    materials.

    b. Interior fittings

    The interior fitting should be made of non-flammable materials; if this is not

    possible, at least materials of low flammability should be used as well as materials

    that do not drip while burning. As few halogen-containing plastics should be used as

    possible, both in IT facilities and in adjacent areas.
