Ease of access to a fully recoverable production environment can mean the difference between emerging from a disaster at minimal cost and maximum speed, or picking up the pieces of your business and reputation. But not all organizations can stomach the set-up and maintenance costs of a dedicated stand-by recovery site.
That’s why companies use cloud-based disaster recovery solutions as an efficient way to protect production environments without the resource and management burden of replicating to a secondary site. The usual cloud rules apply: scalability, pay-as-you-go pricing, and lower total cost of ownership, which means companies can afford to test their recovery readiness or solution more frequently.
