Method facilitating business continuity of enterprise computer network and system associated therewith

A system to facilitate business continuity of an enterprise computer network, comprising:

• a disaster recovery orchestration platform configured to control and manage virtualization and recovery of an enterprise computer network, the disaster recovery orchestration platform including at least one platform computing device, each platform computing device including at least one processor and associated memory;
• a storage device in operative communication with the disaster recovery orchestration platform and configured to store predetermined network configuration information associated with the enterprise computer network;
• and
• at least one communication interface in operative communication with the disaster recovery orchestration platform;
• wherein the disaster recovery orchestration platform is configured to receive an initiate network recovery message via the at least one communication interface, the initiate network recovery message identifying an enterprise computer network to be recovered;
• wherein the disaster recovery orchestration platform is configured to retrieve the predetermined network configuration information from the storage device;
• wherein the disaster recovery orchestration platform is configured to build a virtual recovered enterprise network in a virtual computing environment based at least in part on the predetermined network configuration information;
• wherein the disaster recovery orchestration platform is configured to receive an initiate protected asset restoration message via the at least one communication interface, the initiate protected asset restoration message identifying a protected network asset associated with the enterprise computer network to be restored to the virtual recovered enterprise network;
• wherein the disaster recovery orchestration platform is configured to extract predetermined asset configuration information associated with the protected network asset from the predetermined network configuration information, wherein the predetermined asset configuration information includes asset interface information, asset operating parameters, variable parameter values, and fixed parameter values;
• wherein the disaster recovery orchestration platform is configured to retrieve a backup version of the protected network asset from an enterprise network backup repository associated with the enterprise computer network via the at least one communication interface;
• wherein the disaster recovery orchestration platform is configured to build a virtual machine representative of the protected network asset in the virtual recovered enterprise network based at least in part on the predetermined asset configuration information and the backup version of the protected network asset.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by at least one platform computing device or at least one processor, cause a computer-controlled orchestration platform to perform a method facilitating business continuity of an enterprise computer network, the method comprising:

• receiving an initiate network recovery message at a disaster recovery orchestration platform identifying an enterprise computer network to be recovered;
• retrieving predetermined network configuration information associated with the enterprise computer network from a storage device accessible to the disaster recovery orchestration platform;
• and
• building a virtual recovered enterprise network in a virtual computing environment based at least in part on the predetermined network configuration information;
• receiving an initiate protected asset restoration message at the disaster recovery orchestration platform identifying a protected network asset associated with the enterprise computer network to be restored to the virtual recovered enterprise network;
• extracting predetermined asset configuration information associated with the protected network asset from the predetermined network configuration information, wherein the predetermined asset configuration information includes asset interface information, asset operating parameters, variable parameter values, and fixed parameter values;
• retrieving a backup version of the protected network asset from an enterprise network backup repository associated with the enterprise computer network;
• and
• building a virtual machine representative of the protected network asset in the virtual recovered enterprise network based at least in part on the predetermined asset configuration information and the backup version of the protected network asset.
