Maximizing Data Center Uptime With Business Continuity Planning

Next to ensuring the safety of employees, the next most important business continuity task is resuming business critical operations. Keeping servers highly available and easily manageable is likely what keeps most data center managers up at night. There is a higher probability that most data centers will be affected by a virus, hardware failure, power failure or upgrade gone wrong than by a disastrous weather-related event like wind, fire or rain. However, having a co-location and planning for the smallest interruption of business operations will help ensure ability to provide the same level of service in any circumstance.
