Software corruption, this is often caused by failed backups Hardware malfunctions, often caused by human error, electrical failure, or power spikes. Inability to access, could be caused by snow storms or floods. There are many other possibilities that could result in an IT disaster and disrupt business continuity.

Examples can include something simple like the plumbing of your building floods the floors above your server room, taking out all of your servers. Or, a virus that wipes out all of your software and destroys your data. Fires totally destroy many businesses every day. And natural disasters like hurricanes Katrina and Sandy have each destroyed tens of thousands of businesses in one day. Cloud computing provides automatic data, application, and system backup, stored in multiple locations. With cloud computing, following the worst of natural disasters, your business can continue critical business processes.
