Business Continuity – DR as a Service

Disaster preparedness for information systems in organizations today is not an option – but necessary and more than ever.

A business continuity strategy must ensure the continued provision of critical services to the organization when an event occurs – whether it is a cessation of service, weather damage, terrorism, cyber, human error or any other case.
Studies show that most organizations that have experienced significant service disruption fail to recover within a few hours.
Analysts estimate that the direct and indirect damage caused to organizations in the business market as a result of downtime and / or loss of non-recoverable data is estimated at the global level at about $ 40 billion per year.

And what about a recovery plan?

A number of common problems in companies’ disaster recovery strategy

• There is a recovery plan in place but the project has not been implemented in practice
• The recovery plan is incorrect or not technologically applicable
• The recovery plan includes unnecessary technologies
• The program was not tested effectively (exercises)
• The plan does not meet the appropriate standard (regulation)

Implementing disaster recovery infrastructure (DR) is a challenge, the solutions are not always economical, difficult to define, difficult to maintain, difficult to test and obsolete quickly.

Cloud leverage

Using cloud technology is an excellent solution for realizing business continuity as a modern and up-to-date solution. Studies show that about a third of medium-sized organizations today use cloud solutions as part of their DR programs.

One study * shows that 89% of respondents indicated clear benefits using the cloud for this task. Moreover, 74% of IT people today who use a non-cloud-based secondary site for their business continuity – claim to consider going beyond a cloud-based solution.
