In the past, one- or two-day outages were trouble. Today, a few hours downtime can cripple your organization. It's not just employees who are affected; partners and customers also link to your IT through email and database applications. Losing your data or critical systems can mean:
- Revenue loss from the inability to conduct business
- Lost customer trust or confidence
- Financial penalties for violated SLAs
- Legal or financial penalties for compliance lapses
- Excessive recovery and repair costs for lost systems and data
