Use case to understand BCP/DR

Learning Corp. is a learning platform that teaches various subjects, from Linux to security, to a lot of students at a particular institute in Mumbai. Now, let's assume that some disaster such as heavy rains and heavy flooding has struck, and due to this, the entire network was down. Due to this, Learning Corp. went for plan B, where trainers will take lectures online through an online platform such as Cisco WebEx and has also asked all students to connect online so that classes can go on and students are not affected.

Now, after the heavy rains and flooding have stopped, we need to rebuild the network that was destroyed, and the rebuilding has started. This process is called as Disaster Recovery.

So, in this case:

• BCP: Making sure that the education training goes on and students are not affected
• DR: Rebuilding the network and infrastructure after disaster has passed

I hope this has given you a high-level overview of the BCP/DR.
