CIT offers a disaster recovery program to customers using the OS/390 (Titan) and Unix (EOS) systems at the NIH Computer Center. The disaster recovery program provides participating customers with facilities for continued processing in the event of an extended data center interruption. The program includes computational, data storage, and data communications services at an off-site location referred to as the hot site.

The NIH Computer Center is responsible for restoring system and application software and data at the hot site, while customers have responsibility for preparing their applications to run at the hot site. The Computer Center works closely with customers to ensure that recovery procedures are effective and viable. Two disaster recovery tests, conducted two times each year, allow owners of participating applications to test and refine their disaster recovery activities.
