Chile's Earthquake Shifts Earth's Axis - Implications for your Business

So more magnitude 8 earthquakes...will cause greater shifts?

I really hope that our scientists are not thinking of intervening in this process.

Like it or not, natural disasters are a natural part of earth's renewal.

But there are opportunities amidst disaster...

What are your disaster mitigation strategies?

Maybe if you haven't considered it...your important data should be stored in other countries/continents besides your own.

You may want to consider virtualization: Resource virtualization is to decouple (separate) the user’s perception of hardware and software resources from the actual implementation of these resources.

E.g.:

1) Platform virtualization, where the operating system is separate from its underlying resources (data, application and machine).

2) Memory virtualization, where RAM resources from networked systems are aggregated into a virtualized memory pool, so that it can be used more efficiently.

3) Storage virtualization, where logical and physical storage are separate. See diagram here.

4) Application virtualization, whereby applications can be run on alien machines not originally made to run these applications. E.g. a computer software program that runs from a removable storage device like a USB flash drive.

5) Data virtualization, where data is presented as an abstract layer, separate and apart from underlying database systems, structures and storage. (See diagram here).

6) Database virtualization, which is the decoupling of the database layer, which lies between the storage and application layers within the application stack. (See diagram here).

7) Network virtualization, which is the creation of virtual private networks which address space concerns within or across network subnets. (See diagram here).

Maybe, instead of a local workforce, you should consider a global workforce...which can be contracted and expanded, seamlessly, via the Internet, now made possible by intermediaries such as Elance.com, oDesk.com and LimeExchange.com.

If Biblical prophecy is to be believed, then earth is in for more natural and man-made disasters that will increase in magnitude and effect.

...More severe floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, drought, famine...more wars and rumours of wars.

It is said that in the next 10-15 years, water resources will be so limited, that water will become more valuable than money.

China is preparing - they're clearing forests and building more dams...

How is your country preparing?

...How is your business/company preparing?

Hi Cheap Computers Canada,

Thanks much for your comment and compliment!

Yes, earthquakes can cause a lot of dislocation and disruption for businesses...

That's why it's important for businesses to have a disaster mitigation strategy and plan, as mentioned above. :)
