Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

Physical Risk Assessment Services

Your Business Challenge

Unforeseen risks such as fires, equipment failures, and vandalism can cause significant damage and losses. Not only will the losses be "direct" in terms of revenues, but competitors will use your tarnished public image to their advantage; possibly resulting in an even more resounding "indirect" loss.

Companies need to assess and manage risks in their equipment facilities in order to limit business exposures and reduce the costly impact of network outages. The result will be a safer, more stable environment, as well as lower maintenance costs and an increase in network performance and reliability.

We have your solution

The Risk Management experts at Telcordia can perform low-cost, targeted analysis and provide recommendations to limit service outages and equipment failures. Our analysis consists of an on-site review of more than 200 individual issues within the following categories:

• Network equipment usage and protection
• Disaster recovery procedures
• Alarm and security issues
• Power and lighting issues
• Cabling issues
• Mechanical stability of the facility
• Maintenance procedures
• Equipment contamination levels
• Fire protection standards
• Environmental health and safety
• VAC (heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning) system conditions

Telcordia has extensive experience in equipment and building facility interactions and facility system testing and evaluation. Our knowledge base stems from participating in the recovery efforts from some of the largest disasters in the history. In addition, we are a leading contributor to national industry standards development and requirements.

We employ the most sophisticated laboratories, testing equipment, and computer modeling capabilities in the industry - not to mention some of the brightest and best scientists and technicians in the world.

The TelcordiaTM Physical Risk Assessment is not an "insurance audit" which only focuses on facility loss parameters. We combine the assessment of potential disaster causes with the evaluation of optimum network equipment reliability, maintenance, energy, and air quality to prioritize risk reduction opportunities.
