Contingency Planning

A contingency plan is required to enable the continuation of critical business processes while operating in other-than-normal conditions. This procedure details how this requirement is met.

In a situation where the primary datacenter or systems within the primary datacenter are unavailable, the following business functionality will be available within the contingency site:

a) Patient Remedi Portal is available and functional

b) Credit Balance Portal is available and functional

The contingency site will exist in the Microsoft Azure infrastructure.

Contingency Systems:

a) Domain Controller: FRHCDR01SDCG01

b) Database Server (PR): FRHCDR01SSQL02

c) Database Server (CB): FRHCDR01SSQL01

d) Web Server (PR): FRHCDR01SWEB01

e) Web Server (CB): FRHCDR01SWEB05

f) Application Server (PR): FRHCDR01SAPP01, FRHCDR01SAPP03, FRHCDR01SAPP04

g) Application Server (CB): FRHCDR01SAPP02

h) SFTP Server: FRHCDR01SFTP01

Web site and application code and database schema updates will be made to the respective DR servers within a week of updating the primary servers.

Steps to implement DR:

  1. Create and turn on the virtual servers in the following sequence:

    a. Domain Controller: FRHCDR01SDCG01

    b. Database Servers: FRHCDR01SSQL01 and FRHCDR01SSQL02

    c. Web Servers: FRHCDR01SWEB01 and FRHCDR01SWEB05

    d. Application Servers: FRHCDR01SAPP01, FRHCDR01SAPP02, FRHCDR01SAPP03, and FRHCDR01SAPP04

    e. SFTP Server: FRHCDR01SFTP01

  2. Restore OneProduction Databases (for both CB and PR) with full backup

  3. Test Patient Remedi Portal: https://DR-one.frhc.com

  4. Test Credit Balance Portal: https://DR-cb.frhc.com
