Introduction to Enterprise Resiliency (Coursera)

Resiliency is the ability to provide the required capability in the face of adversity, without significant impact. This is not something that just happens, but rather must be thoroughly planned for and tested, including: 1. Keeping hardware, the operating system, middleware, and applications up and running throughout planned and unplanned outages; 2. Recovering a site from an unplanned event without data loss.
