With technology constantly evolving and security breaches becoming more common, data has never been more vulnerable. Businesses need to back up their data to restore it in the event of a disaster or security breach.

What is needed is a solution that maintains the critical functions to minimize disruptions to business continuity and losses. That’s where Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) comes into play.

Disaster Recovery as a Service is a managed solution that allows businesses to establish alternative data processing sites used in a disaster or security event. As a result, it simplifies the disaster recovery process and makes it quicker and easier for businesses to back up critical data and apps cost-effectively.
