Disaster Recovery (DR) services for businesses have been around for 40 years. However, the industry has seen dramatic changes in just the past four years — and the service will continue to change even more as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the early days, a DR provider would offer one location, and everyone who leased space there would be expected to get to that facility by any means necessary. For example, if a company had its main office in New York City and its employees came from the metropolitan area, each employee from New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester, or Connecticut would need to travel to the provider’s single location, which could be in Bergen County, New Jersey.
