This blog series will dive into the many advantages of Disaster Recovery as a Service and how the underlying technologies can help your business recover more quickly following a disaster. When disaster strikes, many organizations are faced with the reality of having to re-evaluate their DR solution and make modifications to keep up with the pace of today’s business. Most organizations struggle to champion a solution that’s appropriately configured, continually monitored, and regularly tested, with enough geodiversity to survive a coastal event.
Handing the keys over to an organization to manage the most critical element in your business continuity plan isn’t an easy pill to swallow—that is, until you understand how the service is delivered. Working with an organization that specializes in the management and monitoring of your recovery platform ensures industry-standard best practices and best-of-breed hardware.

The technologies didn’t exist to wrap them into one tight package.
Enter the Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service model: Service providers were quick to adapt to the need and come up with a solution that would wrap the two into one service. Encapsulating the two enables us to accomplish multiple goals: reducing the total bandwidth required for offsite replication, reducing the time needed for maintenance windows, reducing overall recovery-point objectives, and reducing the overall recovery time objective. At a time when organizations must be hypersensitive to regulatory compliance, data security, data sensitivity, data integrity, and global security, outsourcing this piece to a service provider is becoming a valuable option.
