Nowadays there are several ways in which that infrastructure can be provided and the conventional method of housing your own servers, computers, switches, routers etc. on your own premises is still popular. Many people have privacy concerns about storing their data on infrastructure that they do not own or like to own the infrastructure on which the rely so heavily.
Should you wish to keep your IT infrastructure on site then it is essential that you take steps to ensure that it can carry on running regardless of hardware failures, power failures, software bugs, cyber threats (viruses, hacking, ransomware and other malware) and other disasters. It is vital that the system is reviewed to ensure that potential vulnerabilities and points of failure are discovered. Good quality hardware and software can go some way to ensure that failures do not occur but even the best hardware can fail and the most reliable software has bugs and so it becomes necessary to implement fail-over to see you through the unexpected. This can include components that can take over from failed components, such as RAID arrays (disk systems that keep data safe and systems running despite a hard drive failure), redundant power supplies (two power supplies in a server), UPS (battery backup systems to see you through a power outage), backup Internet connections, onsite and offsite backup (a last resort to recover in the event of complete failure or major disasters) and many other fail-over solutions. It is also important to maintain all aspects of a system with regular updates and reboots and ensure that issues are anticipated and resolved before they cause major problems by reviewing logs and responding to monitoring alerts.

of those companies hosted in the environment. This means that a good hosting provider can ensure services and data can be stored across multiple geographic locations and secure and reliable data centres can be used, ensuring that generators kick in when power outages occur or backup Internet lines take over when lines are cut or outages occur. Many other fail-over technologies can be implemented in a cloud environment that could not be affordable in your own on premises infrastructure.
