Just as having your backup tapes stored off-site is not sufficient planning for a disaster, simply having a plan of how to recover from the unpreventable is not enough. Consider the following research:

• A study by the University of Texas uncovered the following statistics:
  "Only 6% of companies suffering a catastrophic data loss survive, while
  43% never reopen and 51% close within two years."
• $18,000 is the average hourly cost of downtime for PC networks
• The average cost of downtime ranges from approximately $90,000 per hour
  of in the transportation industry (airline reservations) to $6.5
  million for large brokerage houses in the finance industry (as reported
  by Contingency Planning Research)

There are a number of factors that make The Mountain Complex unique when compared to either above ground facilities or other "underground" installations.

A Rock Solid infrastructure allows your business to continue operating during a crisis - not just recover from it. Sure you can back everything up to tape, but what if your building burns down or is washed away in a flood or storm surge? How detrimental to your business or organization would a week of downtime be?

Every business must have a Business Continuation Plan of which Disaster Recovery is but a subset.
