Geographic dispersal refers to the practice of establishing data centers or facilities in different geographical locations, often at a considerable distance from one another. By having data centers located in diverse geographic regions, the organization can increase its resiliency and ensure continuity of operations even in the face of natural disasters or regional disruptions.

Geographic dispersal refers to the strategic placement of data centers in different geographical locations. By having data centers spread across diverse geographic areas, the organization ensures that its operations can continue even if one or more locations are affected by a natural disaster. If a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or flood, occurs in one region, the organization's other data centers in unaffected areas can sustain operations and maintain business continuity. Geographic dispersal reduces the risk of a single point of failure and increases the overall resiliency of the organization's infrastructure.

"Geographic Dispersal The gold standard for system redundancy is to make perfect copies of the same system and spread them apart geographically, then use the Internet to keep the copies identical. Geographic dispersal protects from natural disasters and widespread Internet disruption. You can set up your own dispersed servers, but virtualization services make it easy." -Mike Meyers Security+ Certification Guide Third Edition SY0-601
