Uptime and Protection of Data are Critical for Business
Revenue
Continuously available services
ensure revenue streams
Productivity Enables the workforce to work at
full capacity
Compliance
Guarantees responsiveness to
auditing entities (SOX, ISO)
Reputation Protects relationships with
customers and partners
