Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
What is Disaster Recovery?
Disaster recovery is the process by which an organization anticipates and addresses technology-related disasters. IT systems in any company can go down unexpectedly due to unforeseen circumstances, such as power outages, natural events, or security issues. Disaster recovery includes a company's procedures and policies to recover quickly from such events.
Prevention
To reduce the likelihood of a technology-related disaster, businesses need a plan to ensure that all key systems are as reliable and secure as possible.
Anticipation
Anticipation includes predicting possible future disasters, knowing the consequences, and planning appropriate disaster recovery procedures.
Mitigation
Mitigation is how a business responds after a disaster scenario. A mitigation strategy aims to reduce the negative impact on normal business procedures.
