Document Summary
Natural disasters can include: flooding from storms or hurricanes, the threat of tornadoes, and earthquakes. That is why many of the companies that do business on the internet will have facilities that have redundancies in different parts of the united. For example, google is headquartered in silicon valley but has many server farm locations around the world to ensure that the website is always up and running (http://www. google. com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/index. html). This would be a great risk to those companies with a loss of revenues. Software errors which are often called software bugs can cause damage to a companies ability to conduct business, have an impact on customer satisfaction, and damage an organizations reputation. Equipment malfunctions are another reason that companies such as google have server farms located all over the world. If a server goes down in one location, the data can be rerouted to another server that is up and running.
