It is not surprising that organisations are becoming increasingly concerned about the continuity of their IT environments. Company processes that are fully IT-dependent are indispensable and take up an increasingly critical role. Any incident that results in a disruption to service can be a significant cost to the company, not just financially but also in terms of public image. At the same time, the number of cyberattacks is increasing at a frightening rate, with a corresponding risk to companies.
Ransomware and power outages make up 60% of Disaster Recovery Events.
Although many organisations realise the importance of implementing a robust Disaster Recovery (DR) solution for business continuity, traditional DR solutions can be complicated, expensive and also unpredictable. Despite considerable investment and efforts, many teams are not sure if their DR plan will work when it really counts. The traditional DR model is also very inefficient. At the very least, organisations must keep a second, completely separate data centre operational. All expansions and modifications in the primary data centre must also be carried out in the DR data centre.
These challenges have led to Disaster Recovery migrating to the Cloud at a tremendous pace. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is substantially lower thanks to the efficiency of the Cloud. Through the simple function of this Cloud service, periodical testing of the DR Service is possible, which in turn also makes the outcome predictable and reliable.
