How Business Criticality is Useful on Infrastructure CIs

 

  • Incident prioritization: When an alert or incident is raised for an infrastructure CI (like a server), the owning team can use Business Criticality to decide whether it needs an immediate P1 response or can be handled with a lower-priority, planned fix.
  • Change risk evaluation: During change planning, this field helps determine how risky a change is to business operations, ensuring that highly critical CIs go through stricter approval and review processes.
  • Event management (alerting): It enables more appropriate responses—an alert on a low-criticality server can be handled differently than the same alert on a mission-critical system.
  • Disaster recovery and continuity planning: It aligns with RTO and RPO targets, helping teams prioritize which systems must be restored first in the event of a disruption.
