Disaster recovery planning is a critical aspect of a business continuity plan. We have seen an increase in disasters that can significantly impact IT infrastructure, and organizations are more prone to business downtime than ever before. Those include:
The productivity loss and reputational damage that businesses face with a disaster, along with the financial consequences, can have a catastrophic impact. According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses never reopen after a disaster and another 25% that do reopen will fail within a year. The stakes are high, so having a proactive plan in place to mitigate damage is crucial.
Disaster Recovery as a Service solutions are a great option for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) who don’t have the time, money, and resources required to maintain and test their own disaster recovery environment.
Disaster Recovery as a Service is a cloud service model that allows an organization to back up its data and IT infrastructure in a third-party cloud environment to regain access and functionality to IT infrastructure after a disaster. In the as-a-service model, the organization doesn’t have to own all the resources or handle disaster recovery management, and instead can rely on DRaaS providers to do so.
Managed Disaster Recovery as a Service should be considered for SMBs and other businesses with small IT teams who can’t afford the investment in time and resources for testing and implementing a disaster recovery plan. It can be a more affordable option than hosting your own disaster recovery infrastructure and IT staff in a remote location.
For many companies, DRaaS is a less costly and more effective solution than in-house disaster recovery. There are several benefits of DRaaS to consider:
DRaaS providers and recovery experts do the heavy lifting while your workforce focuses on revenue-generating initiatives.
Disaster Recovery as a Service solutions are a cost-effective way to eliminate downtime in the event of a disaster without the upfront costs of creating an IT infrastructure.
As your business grows, so does your IT environment. Because it’s a cloud service, DRaaS allows you to review and update your disaster recovery strategy easily as your business grows.
Downtime in a disaster will kill your business financially. Traditional in-house disaster recovery solutions can have prolonged downtimes, but utilizing managed Disaster Recovery as a Service can ensure your IT infrastructure is up and running in a disaster.
Be prepared and protect your business’s data and IT infrastructure from the unexpected disruptions of a ransomware attack, hardware failure, or building disaster. Regular backups are important, but they have no value if you cannot restore quickly and easily after disaster. Locknet’s manage Disaster Recovery as a Service offering is just one component of our comprehensive Managed IT service called Keysuite. It provides fully managed data backup, retention, disaster prevention, and recovery.
