Abstract

Nearly one in five businesses suffer a major disruption every year. These disruptions often affect thousands of customers and consumers. A disruption could result in financial and legal losses, as well as damage to reputation. For example, on 4 January 2010, SALES FORCE, a company offering online enterprise support services, experienced an outage for over an hour, affecting 68,000 customers [6]. Another example is PayPal, a service for processing online payments. PayPal was down for 4.5 hours worldwide on 4 August 2009; PayPal usually processes 2,000 USD per second for its customers.
