The average hourly cost of an infrastructure failure is $100,000 per hour, a survey of the Fortune 1000 by IDC finds. In addition, the average total cost of unplanned downtime per year is $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion. The financial impact may pale in comparison to the reputational risk and cost of lost customers, let alone potential regulatory sanction.

Automation entails leveraging technology to streamline and execute tasks or processes without direct human intervention. While commonly employed in sectors such as manufacturing, robotics, and vehicle control, its significance in IT cannot be overstated.
In the realm of information technology, automation involves utilising instructions to establish a repetitive process that supplants manual labour by IT professionals in data centers and cloud deployments. Automation tools, frameworks, and appliances operate tasks with minimal administrator involvement. The spectrum of IT automation spans from singular actions to defined sequences and, ultimately, to self-sufficient IT deployments that respond to user interactions and other triggers.
As a cornerstone of IT optimisation, embracing automation is not merely a forward-thinking strategy but a fundamental necessity for any business striving to remain relevant, secure, and efficient in today’s digital age. Automation enhances efficiency, consistency, and scalability, enabling organisations to achieve greater operational excellence.
IT automation simplifies and speeds up tasks in the IT environment using tools like Ansible with playbooks to automate processes like provisioning virtual machines and managing backups. Enterprise-level automation tools can respond to events, configure systems, detect unauthorized changes, and maintain server configurations automatically, improving efficiency and reliability in IT operations.

Automating disaster recovery (DR) have many benefits, including expedited recovery times, enhanced dependability, cost savings, and improved regulatory adherence.
By automating the processes, the restoration of systems and data can be accomplished within minutes or hours rather than the traditional span of days or weeks. The utilisation of predefined scripts and templates mitigates the risk of human errors and inconsistencies. In fact, most misconfigurations are introduced through inadvertent human mistakes.
Automation also provide audit trails, reports, and alerts, facilitating adherence to regulatory and industry mandates such as the Risk Management in IT (RMiT).
When developing a disaster recovery (DR) plan, assessing the technology stack is crucial. Collaboration among subject matter experts (SMEs) at each layer is necessary. Manual operations can prolong recovery time, while automation allows for more frequent testing and faster restoration.
Systemizer Technic provides tools and training for effective DR Automation strategy implementation, enhancing efficiency and accuracy while saving costs and building trust in organisational capabilities.
Each of these layers has their own SME who will need to work in tandem to address complexities and challenges during a DR event
Time Savings: Traditional disaster recovery often involves manual processes and large teams, leading to costly downtime. Automating recovery reduces downtime by quickly restoring vital systems. Integrating tools like CMDB expedites the process.
Measurable Analytics: Automation provides valuable analytics for improving recovery efficiency. IT teams can track performance, set realistic goals, and identify areas for improvement based on data from DR testing.
Reduced Compliance Risk: Industries like finance must prove effective recovery strategies to avoid fines and downtime costs. Automated audit trails simplify compliance by providing detailed records without post-event reconstruction
Heightened Productivity: Automated failover to secondary data centers maintains revenue generation during primary system downtime, reducing the impact of outages. It ensures critical systems remain operational, maintaining business continuity and reducing outage costs.
