What is DRaaS and Why Does Your Business Need It?

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaas) is a cloud-based solution that allows businesses to replicate critical operations to a cloud service provider’s infrastructure.

This solution goes beyond simply backing up and recovering your data. Data backup is just one aspect of your disaster recovery strategy, but in contrast to BaaS, it moves your complete infrastructure, applications, data, computer processing, and networking to the cloud. Because the infrastructure is fully mirrored, it is easier to continue where your team left off, even after a disaster.

DRaaS Solutions That Go Above & Beyond
Speak to the Experts at BlackBox

Disasters Come In All Shapes and Sizes

It can be a full-site failure, a ransomware attack or even a well-intentioned employee who hit the wrong button. However, public clouds lay the burden on you to secure and protect your data. This isn’t just expensive and resource-draining but can lead to significant delays in getting your systems back online.

Instead, access powerful backup solutions for cloud, virtual and physical backup, which take the headache away. Flexible backup of endpoints, no matter where they reside, means all types of data are completely protected and easy to recover from the cloud. Your data will be as safe as it would be in a dedicated off-site repository.

With centralised remote monitoring and management capabilities and clear-cut visibility and reporting, you can also be confident knowing you’ll meet all legal and compliance requirements.

Cost of DRaaS Solutions and Downtime

Recovery as a service is often seen as a financial burden rather than a strategic investment. 

Compared to investing in all the staff, overheads and infrastructure yourself, signing up for our backup and recovery means paying for a predictable, flat monthly fee.  

Not only could a disaster have data and operating repercussions, but it could also become very expensive under GDPR compliance if your customer’s personal data is compromised or lost. As well as the financial liability, it could also lead to lasting reputational repercussions. When using a disaster mitigation purpose-built cloud provider, your business can be back online in as little as a few minutes.

In a world where data is the true king and a wide range of accidents, malicious threats, and natural disasters impact your business continuity, can you really afford not to have a disaster recovery solution in place?

Popular Use Cases for DRaaS Solutions

Ransomware Recovery

A sudden and unprecedented ransomware attack can bring your operations to a grinding halt. Not being able to recover your data and infrastructure in time can give your business a major disadvantage. But with our expert support, you minimise downtime and recover systems quickly, without losing important data. 

Business Continuity for SMBs

Small and medium businesses (SMBs) often lack the IT infrastructure and resources to maintain a secondary data centre. With our recovery support, these businesses can afford business continuity without significant upfront capital.

Hybrid and Cloud-Native Environments

Our data recovery and restoration supports organisations operating in hybrid environments with data protection features across on-premises and cloud systems.

Documentation

Industries with strict regulatory requirements, such as finance and healthcare, must ensure that critical data is securely stored and recoverable for extended periods. Our DRaaS solutions help meet compliance obligations ensuring your data is always accessible and audit-ready.
