Disaster recovery as a service

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions help organizations maintain business operations during disruptive events.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) enables rapid recovery from cyberattacks, natural disasters, and system failures. By replicating IT infrastructure in the cloud, DRaaS ensures business continuity and minimizes downtime. DRaaS has evolved into a core component of modern cybersecurity, providing resilience against an ever-growing landscape of threats.

The challenge

Your organization faces increasing threats from cyberattacks, natural disasters, and hardware failures, all of which can lead to costly downtime and data loss. Traditional backup methods are often insufficient to ensure rapid recovery and business continuity. Lean IT teams struggle to manage complex, manual disaster recovery plans, especially in multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The stakes are high, as a single incident can lead to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and even business failure if you are not prepared.

The solution

Disaster recovery as a service addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.

Cloud-based replication

Replicates your entire IT infrastructure in the cloud, providing a warm standby environment for rapid failover.

Orchestrated failover and failback

Automates the process of switching operations to the recovery site and transitioning back to the primary site without data loss.

Immutable and air-gapped recovery

Prevents ransomware from encrypting backups by providing logically or physically disconnected storage.

Continuous data protection (CDP)

Replicates data every few seconds to ensure the lowest possible Recovery Point Objective (RPO).

Multi-platform support

Supports heterogeneous environments, including virtual machines, physical servers, and cloud-native workloads.

AI-driven anomaly detection

Uses AI to scan replication streams for signs of ransomware encryption, alerting the team before infection.

How to evaluate disaster recovery as a service

1

Orchestrated failover

Ensure the solution can boot applications in a specific sequence and transition them back to the primary site without data loss.

2

Continuous data protection (CDP)

Prioritize solutions that offer CDP for near-instant recovery point objectives.

3

Immutable and air-gapped recovery

Verify the solution provides air-gapped storage that is logically or physically disconnected from the production network.

4

Non-disruptive testing

Confirm the ability to run full-scale disaster drills in a sandbox environment without impacting live production data.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Disaster recovery as a service RFP guide
  • Can you demonstrate a 'non-disruptive' failover test?
  • What are the specific data egress costs if we need to failback 50TB of data?
  • How does your solution handle 'application dependency mapping' during a failover?
  • Do your 'immutable' backups reside on a physically separate network?
