Downtime is a money drain. And now it’s more expensive than ever, with a recent ITIC study indicating that hourly downtime costs exceed $1 million can reach more than $5 million. That doesn’t include any legal fees, fines, or penalties, either. In the same study, 91 percent of organizations said that a single hour of downtime that takes mission-critical server hardware and applications offline costs more than $300,000 due to lost business, productivity, and remediation efforts alone. Another study showed that 40 percent of small businesses experienced eight or more hours of downtime after a cyberattack, causing an average of $1.56 million in losses. These downtime costs make a clear case for building business continuity into your disaster recovery (DR) plans. So, what should you look for in a business continuity solution? Put a purpose-built business continuity cloud at the top of your checklist.
