As companies rely more and more on their
data centers, disaster recovery (DR) becomes
increasingly important. And the specific
numbers make little difference for many of
them: whether it's $1,000 per hour in losses
or $100,000, disruption of service delivery to
customers can be devastating. No longer are
disasters limited to hurricanes, wildfires, floods
and other major events that term brings to
mind. Instead, many inconveniences—such as
simple power or network outages—are now
business catastrophes for the unprepared.
