Data Center Knowledge has posted a great article illuminating the effect that cloud computing is having on the economics of disaster recovery (DR) for information technology. Having fast DR used to mean adding a large considerable expense to your IT budget in order to "duplicate" what you have.

Using cloud technologies not only is this less expensive, but is a great first step towards transitioning IT infrastructure into the cloud paradigm.
