AT&T bolsters European disaster recovery facilities

15/05/2009

AT&T, the US telecommunications giant, will be expanding its European disaster recovery facilities, a move which signifies the growing importance of disaster recovery plans for companies in Europe.

By the end of this year, AT&T will have invested a total of $7.5 million (£4.9 million), in the sector in Europe.

Kevin Peters, executive vice-president, AT&T Global Network Operations, said that the company would continue to make further investments in the sector in order to be able to respond to businesses in need.

He added: "Business continuity planning is critical in order to avoid major communications disruptions in the event of a disaster."

Recently, the importance of adequate disaster recovery planning has been highlighted by the continuing threat of a swine flu pandemic, which could seriously affect the ability of staff to work.
