Microsoft Azure
Disaster recovery has always been a strong point of cloud services. Some of the first cloud customers were banks and financial institutions that needed to have access to their data no matter what disaster struck. Azure provides much better disaster recovery options than most of the alternatives. Azure keeps your data safe by making redundant copies in multiple locations. You can manually choose the locations of your database backups but even if you do not, Azure will manage the security by default. Companies can even extend their Active Directory to Azure backups for uninterrupted services even if your main data site goes down.
