Abstract
A method for improving integrity and availability of data in a data center is provided. The data center is part of a network of data centers. The data centers in the network are adapted to act as a backup service provider. The method comprises registering backup service profile data of each of the data centers with viable data. The method also comprises accessing a forecast of monitorable events for a region, analyzing the forecast to predict a potential threat, identifying a data center in the regions, and determine a data center within the network of data centers as backup service provider. If more than one suitable backup service providers is identified, determine a best match backup service provider, establishing a backup communication connection, and transferring data from the source data center to the target data center.
