We have 8 remote locations (WAN) that all rely on us to be able to do
anything.
All of our resources are here, and the remote sites run all apps over
Citrix, and all phones are run VoIP from here.
So if we go down... Everyone goes down.

  That's our plan here.  Of course, if we loose premises electrical we
pretty much have to shut down manufacturing operations anyway, so it's
usually not a concern.

  We did have one time it didn't work out well.  The 200 amp breaker
feeding the main offices from the main distribution panel died abruptly.
So the server and comm rooms didn't have power but almost everything
else did.  Took a few hours to get it fixed.  Factory ran on pencil and
paper for a bit.  Management decided (and I agreed) that it wasn't worth
the cost to buy counter-measures against such a scenario.
