Why do I need Disaster Recovery?

Disaster Recovery provides contingency against large scale events (known as "disasters") which cause a complete loss of access to the primary site.

While it is not possible to list all potential scenarios that could result in the loss of the primary site, common examples include:

• Natural disasters (earthquakes, storms, floods, hurricanes, and so on)
• Data center failures (fire, flooding, electricity, telecommunications, cooling, and so on)
