Be prepared for anything with Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Be prepared for disasters like malicious attacks, system failures, and user error disruptions.
What is Disaster Recovery?
If there was a major infrastructure failure, security breach or natural disaster, what would happen to your business? “According to a report from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 40 percent of businesses do not reopen following a disaster. On top of that, another 25 percent fail within one year”. Even more concerning, is that 54% of businesses don’t have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place.
Nowadays, backing up your business and keeping things running as usual is no longer a luxury but a necessity. In the age of real time response times and high availability expectations, its more important than ever to have a solid disaster recovery plan in place so your teams can contunue having access to applications and data whilst a major disruption is tended to.
In a study conducted by Pingdom, they found that the [downtime] cost per minute for small businesses lands around $427, whereas, for larger businesses, it’ll be closer to $9,000. Can your business afford to not have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place?

Disaster Recovery vs Business Continuity
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity are often confused as the same thing. In a nutshell, Business Continuity is the overall plan to keep the business running whereas Disaster Recovery focuses on the plans in place to restore IT/critical data.
Business continuity seeks to limit operational downtime. It is a written document that lists the business’s essential functions, employee contact infomramtion, important records. Basically all the required information to get the business up and running as soon as possible after a disruptive event.
Disaster Recovery is a plan on all the applications/IT Processes that will need recovering. What their RTO/RPO is and who is contactable for each part.
Our DR experts have created an easy to use Disaster Recovery Template that is free to download. We are also currently offering 1 hour free consultation to help you complete it/understand each section in greater depth.
