Network Disaster Recovery and Hurricane Sandy

With Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the eastern United States, information technology firms are anxiously reviewing their emergency backup and disaster recovery procedures.

Fans of cloud computing haven't been shy to beat their drum in recent years touting the advantages of a distributed network infrastructure for backup and recovery (among other things).

Let's hope Hurricane Sandy doesn't put business disaster recovery to the test.
