DRaaS Ushers in Changes to Data Protection Strategy

As businesses continue to change the way they use and store data, the methods they use to protect the data has changed too. Studies show they’re reconsidering traditional backup and recovery while looking more favorably at disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS). With DRaaS, businesses enjoy the luxury of keeping a replica of their data hosted at a remote site that they can fail over to in an emergency—without bearing any of the infrastructure costs or maintenance responsibilities.

All infrastructure and maintenance is the responsibility of the provider. There are several reasons for the shift in DRaaS adoption rates:

  • Backup applications that were designed for outdated environments and use cases
  • Frustration over backup challenges leading to a greater willingness to modernize
  • Snapshots and replication taking a more active role in recovery

As adoption of DRaaS increases, companies will find it easier to deploy the right type of protection by determining exactly how much support they may need in a disaster recovery scenario.
