Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the issues regarding risk related to data center planning. Organizations are dependent on computing services, which may become unavailable due to the manifestation of threats. These threats include natural disasters, man-made disasters and accidents. Prudent risk management is required to provide for continuation and recovery of operations in the event of a disruption. Risk assessment necessitates an in depth knowledge of the organization and a thorough analysis of the potential events which may have a negative impact on the data center and the associated computing services. Strategy development is discussed as well as preparedness, mitigation, exercises, response and recovery.
