DISASTER RECOVERY AS A SERVICE (DRaaS)
When disaster strikes, DRaaS is the critical storage-based replication and recovery plan businesses need to get back up and running quickly.
WHAT IS DRaaS?
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a cloud-based replica of an organizations entire IT environment allowing normal operations to continue if the primary infrastructue fails. Typically, DRaaS is best paired with BUaaS (Backup as a Service) for an effective Business Continuity plan that will allow you to stay operational in the event of a disruption. For SMBs even a small disruption can correlate to significant losses – especially for those in e-commerce.
Why Does My Business Need DRaaS?
SMBs with limited IT resources and budgets will find DRaaS to be especially valuable because it eliminates the costs of deploying, monitoring, patching, and maintaining an on-premises Disaster Recovery infrastructure. Choose between a subscription-based model or pay-per-use.
