Cloud-based disaster recovery service providing replication and failover capabilities.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) provides disaster recovery capabilities through a cloud service—replicating systems to the cloud and enabling failover when primary systems are unavailable. DRaaS eliminates the need for secondary data centres, providing enterprise DR capabilities at accessible cost. Services range from basic VM replication to fully managed failover and failback. DRaaS makes sophisticated DR achievable for organisations that couldn't afford traditional approaches.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
DRaaS makes enterprise DR accessible. Rather than building and maintaining secondary infrastructure, leverage cloud services for recovery capability. Test DRaaS regularly to ensure it works when needed.
