A disaster recovery site, also known as a backup site, is a temporary storage location where a company can store its data after a security breach or natural disaster. It is part of a larger disaster recovery or business continuity plan.
Disaster recovery (DR) is an organization’s ability to restore access and functionality to its IT infrastructure after a disruption, whether caused by natural disasters, human error, or deliberate attacks. It is a subset of business continuity that focuses explicitly on getting critical IT systems up and running as soon as possible after a disaster.
Here’s why cloud-based disaster recovery is essential:
The Cloud eliminates the need for separate locations.
Traditionally, companies maintained a second physical data centre (a disaster recovery site) to recover data from backups.
With the Cloud, this second physical data centre becomes unnecessary.
Our service offers robust DR solutions without the cost and complexity of maintaining a second site.
Types of disasters:
Natural disasters (e.g. earthquakes, floods, hurricanes)
Cyber attacks (malware, ransomware, DDoS)
System failures (hardware errors, software errors)
Human errors
Pandemics and epidemics
Benefits of Cloud DR:
Cost-effective: There is no need for expensive physical locations.
Flexibility: Rapid recovery of critical systems.
Availability: Keep functions running even during outages.
Data protection: Data loss protection.
In summary, cloud-based disaster recovery ensures business continuity by leveraging the flexibility and reliability of the Cloud.
Remember, having a disaster recovery plan is vital to your business continuity.
