Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery

Unless you are still using backup tapes transported via the ‘sneaker net’, network connectivity is probably an important part of your business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) plan. Some organizations use multiple carriers to protect their connections. Are you aware that even if you have ‘redundant’ communication services from two different carriers, those carriers could be delivering their connections to you using a common path?  There is no continuity or recovery if you lose your connection because of a fiber cut and both of your carriers use the same fiber cable. How can you ensure that you have the best protection without spending too much?
