Need IT Disaster Recovery? But not sure where to start or why....

In 2000, the Fibre Channel Industry Association published a report that looked at business continuity and Hourly Outage Costs by Industry, and although now quite out of date it really does highlight how important it is to have a good IT disaster recovery solution in place for businesses.
