When your systems are elsewhere.
WHAT CHANGES
Your connection becomes critical.
Everything stops when it does.
WHAT TO ASSESS
How much of your work depends on the connection What you can do offline What an outage costs per hour
WHAT TO ARRANGE
A fallback connection Offline access to essentials, where available
WHAT AFFECTS PERFORMANCE
Latency to the service, more than bandwidth Upload, for synchronisation and uploads Congestion
THE SYNCHRONISATION POINT
Cloud storage synchronising large files saturates upload.
Schedule or limit it.
WHAT TO CHECK
Whether synchronisation runs during working hours How much it transfers
WHAT TO KEEP LOCALLY
Anything you would need during an outage.
WHAT TO TEST
Working for an hour with the connection disconnected.
That reveals what you genuinely depend on.
WHAT TO PREPARE
A procedure for continuing during an outage.
