In today’s complex business environment, information availability, security and reliability are a necessity for the survival of an organization. Disaster can strike an organization in two forms: Physical destruction of a location (or access to a location and data), – (e.g. fire, flood, earthquake, significant power or network outage, etc. and data destruction without physical destruction – examples include hardware failures, virus/hacker attacks, software malfunction, or human error.) Costs of operational downtime vary from industry to industry. Financial firms calculate the cost in millions of dollars per hour, while other traditional industries calculate the cost in thousands per day. These costs include: lost business transactions, lost employee productivity, lost customer data, in some cases regulatory penalties, fines and lawsuits.
