Following an unexpected data center disruption, the recovery team is assessing the order in which systems should be brought back online. Which of the following should receive the HIGHEST priority according to standard disaster recovery procedures?
Corporate intranet and internal chat services
Servers responsible for customer transactions and order processing
Print servers and networked office equipment
Design and development tools used by a small department
After a disaster, the first priority should be to restore systems critical to business operations and those that have a significant impact on service delivery, such as customer-facing services and critical data. This usually includes servers handling financial and customer data. Restoring internal communication platforms, while important, is generally of secondary importance, and peripheral device functionality is a lower priority. Minor software tools are restored later, as they do not usually impact the business's immediate ability to continue essential operations.
