Experts demand to make assessment checkup mandatory before setting up data centre
Due to the lack of cohesive and coordinated initiatives, the telecom sector has been disrupted by the Khawaja Tower fire. To prevent such accidents, DR and data center plug and play facilities, redundancy and security measures have been called for in advance by the sector concerned. They think that if redundancy is not ensured through the secondary data center to ensure the security of the data center and its related buildings for data availability, they fear more danger ahead. For this reason, regular drills should be conducted with the concerned parties to implement the 'BCP'. They also emphasized determining the amount of loss through IT asset valuation.
