Japan centres in crisis
Meanwhile, Ontrack Data Recovery says the disaster in Japan has highlighted the need for data recovery and business continuity plans.
Countless firms in the technology and telecommunications industry have reported disruption and even Sony, Panasonic and Sharp have had to halt productions.
However, so far, data archiving centres have escaped damage due to measures taken to protect the buildings during the design stages.
According to eWeek, the horrific crisis is a clear reminder to IT managers about their own business continuity systems and how well-prepared they are for such an event.
"First of all, everybody should be threat-aware at all times," Bill Hughes, a business continuity specialist at SunGard Availability Services, said.
"They also should be looking at all their company's locations and supply chain in terms of people, when they are checking their data centre resilience and data recovery systems."
