I just finished reading a very interesting article over at Forbes.com. The article is mainly about how small business cope with the expense of disaster recovery on a small business budget. One of the interesting point the author brought up was that by moving to cloud computing and to web based services like Microsoft exchange, a company could have it main office burn down and move to a building a block down the road and be up and running again by simply hooking back up to the Internet with another PC.
I think that this might be a future move many small business will make. There are companies that are popping up that you can outsource all of your it needs. Imagine only having to pay one bundled price for your email, phone, applications, and server services to all be accessible over the Internet. Companies could access these services over the Internet from anywhere in the world while still being protected against any disaster.
