When Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a €15.7 billion investment in cloud infrastructure in Spain’s Aragón region, it wasn’t just about expanding data centers—it was about protecting them. With flood risks increasing worldwide, AWS has committed €17.2 million toward AI-powered flood mitigation efforts.
This initiative highlights a crucial reality for businesses of all sizes: disaster preparedness and business continuity planning are no longer optional.
But let’s face it—most companies don’t have millions extra to spend on AI-driven flood prevention. So, what are the real-world options for businesses that still need to protect their IT infrastructure?
Relocation: When and Where to Move Your IT Infrastructure
If your business operates in a flood-prone area, relocation may be the smartest long-term solution. But it’s not as simple as picking a new location—you need a strategic approach to minimize costs and downtime.
Here’s how Data Center Consulting and Relocation Services from Alucid Solutions can help:
✅ Assessing Risk – Evaluating the current and future flood risks for your region and determining whether relocation is necessary.
✅ Choosing the Right Location – Identifying lower-risk areas with stable infrastructure, strong connectivity, and cost-effective operations.
✅ Seamless Moves – Transferring IT assets efficiently while maintaining business continuity, reducing downtime, and ensuring proper configuration – even overnight.
✅ Hybrid & Cloud Strategies – Assessing whether moving to a colocation facility, hybrid cloud, or fully cloud-based solution is a viable alternative.
Can’t Relocate? Strengthen Your IT Resilience Instead
If relocation isn’t an option, disaster preparedness and IT resilience are critical. Without support, unprotected IT equipment is a disaster waiting to happen—failed hardware, extended downtime, and costly emergency fixes. Third-Party Maintenance with Alucid Rapid Remediation can help businesses with:
✅Flexible Support & Rapid Response Times – minimize costly downtime when disasters strike.
✅50-70% Cost Savings over OEM support—freeing up resources for disaster recovery and business continuity investments.
