Conducted by independent market research firm Applied Research West during June and July 2008, the study polled more than 1,000 IT managers in large organizations across 15 countries in the United States and Canada, Europe and the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America to gain insight and understanding into some of the more complicated factors associated with disaster recovery.
