Data has become the new precious asset in the tech world, and indeed for a reason. Today, data risks are considered to be one of the major risks in businesses. Have you ever seen a venture that has not faced issues such as system failures, cyberattacks, natural hazards, accidents, network failures? Unfortunately, no matter how much effort every firm puts in, the answer often is no.

Be it any disaster; such events tangibly affect businesses. Two points: (1) Natural and man-made disasters, network failures are beyond your control. (2) Downtime in your work can affect productivity, yields, and brand image. But, most importantly, in case of failure in the recovery, it can disrupt your business operations, thereby, finances.

Hence, it’s high time you ask your team the following questions to ensure that you’re on the same page.

  1. Does your team have an on-demand backup in case of data loss?
  2. How quickly can you access it?
  3. What’s the latency for your users until data is recovered?

Although several recovery points are available in the market, many of them either cost a fortune or are flawed for present remote-work situations! That clarifies why every company needs to have a good cloud Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) strategy in place.

In this blog, we’ll understand how cloud-powered disaster recovery networks help your businesses during emergencies.

What is a Cloud-powered disaster recovery network?

Cloud disaster recovery, also known as cloud DR or cloud DRP is nothing but a third-party infrastructure that allows you to store, manage and backup your applications, operating system, data and patches into a single software bundle.

Why should you consider the cloud for your DR strategy?

Offers speedy recovery:

The cloud automates the process of transferring backup data from server to cloud. That makes the cloud-powered network an on-demand disaster recovery network that allows you reduced downtime. Since you don’t have to spend hours transferring data from tape drives to the server, disaster data recovery is 70% faster in cloud networks compared to other data recovery methods.

Simple yet efficient!

Cloud architecture does not involve investing in costly software/hardware solutions which only trained or experts can manage. Instead, you can use the knowledge of your DRaaS provider to get started with the strategy and leverage simplified management and support. Besides, with proper service in place, you can seamlessly control and manage your data backups with easy-to-use control panels.

Best for remote teams:

The traditional hardware recovery solutions were indeed safe within the four walls of the firm. However, the advantage tricked us in 2020. The post-pandemic remote culture has made us realize the importance of cloud disaster recovery, rightly so! The cloud model works on disaster recovery at all data access channels across organizations. There isn’t a better solution for remote teams with remote access to necessary systems with controlled accountability.
