Image courtesy of Aduldej / FreeDigitalPhotos.netHow do we know when a hurricane, twister, tornado, flood or an outage will occur? We don’t, all we can do is hope companies have prepared their data centers for safety and security during horrific weather conditions. It’s hard to believe that with the technology that we have today, data centers can be wiped out with a single hit, as it did with Hurricane Sandy. There are several ways to minimize this from happening:

1. Identify a compliant cloud service provider
