Today's businesses must assure that corporate IT systems and relevant current business data are available to make daily business decisions. Business interruptions due to data loss resulting from system failures or catastrophic events can threaten the ability of the business to continue operations. In addition, litigation and various regulatory requirements such as Sorbannes-Oxley and HIPPA demand that older data be accessible long after its current value to the business has passed.

How prepared are you to survive a crisis with your IT systems?  Many businesses have discontinued operations due to the disasterous impact of losing critical data.  In fact, WWPI reports that "40% of businesses never reopen following a disaster.  Of the ones that do, an estimated 25% of them close their doors within two years time.  Statistics also show that 50% of businesses are affected by server failure at some point and nearly all businesses experience loss of utilities from time to time.
