What makes a great photo? Everyone has an opinion on what makes a great photo. Perfect focus, stunning lighting, tightly controlled depth of field, amazing subject, the list goes on. But what REALLY makes a great photo?

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity planners need to include online backup and recovery service providers in the mix of resources that they will apply. These providers can be grouped into three categories: Service providers leveraging existing core business resources to expand into adjacent markets to look for new revenue opportunities Service providers concentrating on server backup in niche markets: backup and recovery only, single verticals, regional boundaries Service providers whose backup and recovery service forms an integral part of a broader spectrum of information management and data protection services
