Many companies have trusted and put their whole backend to one organization. Therefore, as the risks can happen anytime, it is important that they should set a plan for emergencies.

Thanks to modern cloud architectures, it cost less to create new tech businesses. Nonetheless, it brings not only the cost advantage but also disadvantages. The companies have to depend on that service to operate their businesses.

The more modern technology is, the more networked the world is. In the context that devices with internet connection are available in almost any home, it is more and more vital that the companies set a spare plan to deal with any situation like the services going down.

In conclusion, it is likely to depend on the service such as storage or computing in the cloud in case the companies have a plan to adapt regardless of any issues.
