An agreement for the supply of disaster recovery/standby services, drafted from the supplier's perspective.
Note: Agreements of this nature (where the supplier offers to make a remote standby IT facility available to the customer as part of its disaster recovery planning) may now be seen as a legacy topic given the increased reliance on cloud computing. Consequently, this resource is no longer maintained. For a discussion on current trends when dealing with the business continuity of cloud services, see Practice note, Cloud services: due diligence issues: Business continuity risks.
