The ongoing development and integration of information technology in all areas of business means that today no company can afford this technology to fail. Almost without exception, a power supply failure in industry and business leads to collective incapacity.
Only a few years ago many organizations were able to “survive” an IT infrastructure outage of several hours, but today the number of companies for whom continuous IT availability is essential is growing steadily. According to a study by the Meta Group, a 10 day breakdown of key IT systems can cause such lasting damage to an organization that there is a 50% chance it will disappear from the market within the next five years.
