Unforeseen outages make entrepreneurs painfully aware of the preeminence of disaster recovery (DR) planning. However, anticipating a data center outage is not just about an effective DR strategy, it is more about lessening the business impact.
Executing a DR plan aligned with operational imperatives and business needs can trigger challenges with demanding recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) requirements, with a little crave for the investment, deployment, and continuous management of a DR environment. Therefore, for enterprises with limited resources to maintain DR needs, cloud-based disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) offers another layer of protection to their data while minimizing CapEx and simplifying deployment.
DRaaS includes the replication of infrastructure, applications, and data to the cloud. DRaaS not only protects your data and also ensures your business continuity by minimizing downtime and interruption to clients, customers, and employees in the event of a disaster or server failure.
A dedicated DRaaS service provider manages both primary production and disaster recovery instances in the cloud and benefits enterprises in eliminating on-premises infrastructure. An ideal cloud-based DR Service offers the following key elements:
Greatly reduced CapEx
Immediate business continuity
Simpler disaster recovery deployment
Full-site, disk, file, and system recovery
A replica of all protected systems
WAN optimization between cloud and the customer site
Data validation to ensure the data integrity
Benefits of Cloud-based DR Service
Cost-effective Solution
The pay-as-you-go pricing model of the cloud significantly lowers costs by eliminating unpredictable failure of hardware, software or data center. The DR Service helps reduce the secondary or tertiary data center investments and on-going maintenance.
Efficient to Start
An effective DR strategy provides an easy way to implement a DR Service by not investing in any hardware or a secondary site and by not hiring and training the new staff. The service offers a secure, scalable, automated, and simple process to replicate and recover applications & data during a disruptive event.
Improve Operational Efficiency
DR offers flexible services that help you to scale up during seasonal peaks and to scale down while slower times. This versatility improves the operational efficiency of your business and helps in better management of your budget, resources, and personnel.
Reliable Security
To deploy and manage applications in cloud services, organizations concern about security. However, choosing a service provider, who is compliant with all the relevant regulations, will help you with the most reliable security.
Hence, with cloud-based DR solution, organizations can benefit from flexible contract terms, lower price points, and the scalability to grow as your business needs change. DRaaS ensures your business continuity of daily operations with minimal disruptions. Therefore, to safeguard all aspects of your organization, a comprehensive DR strategy has to be implemented.
