    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the disaster-recovery and business-continuity plans of Marriott International Inc. in the U.S. The company's in-house Recovery and Development Center (RDC) is different from the typical disaster-recovery facility due to its location 220 feet underground in a highly secure and naturally cooled former limestone mine north of Pittsburgh. Carl Wilson, chief information officer stated that the RDC shows the firm's dedication for the development of innovative technology solutions for both the business and the environment. He also added that the use of the underground facility is environmentally friendly and lower energy consumption. It is also improves energy efficiency that would bring significant savings and help the company achieve its environmental goals.
