DRaaS vs BaaS & Business Continuity as a Service
Ensure your business isn't vulnerable or at risk to interruption in business operations.
Overview of Suggested Services
Backup as a Service (BaaS)
An alternative to centralized on or off-premise
solution, that you have to manually manage, BaaS
helps companies remotely manage, maintain and
update where data is stored in a private, public or
hybrid cloud environment.
Benefits include: No need for IT people to manage data environment, better security through secure and encrypted servers, back-up is accessible anywhere with an internet connection, no longer susceptible to theft, flooding or fire, and it’s cost effective.
Disaster Recovery as a Service
(DRaaS)
In addition to the preservation of files or
databases, DRaaS also includes the recovery of
applications. DRaaS gives you a working system
after disaster strikes, allowing infrastructure or
most critical applications to be up and running on
an agreed upon timeframe with your Provider.
Benefits include: Instantaneous failover and failback, non-disruptive tests, multi-tiered security, on-demand consultation, transition to OpEx and reduction of costs, payment for only CPU and RAM used during a disaster, low recovery times.
More than 40 percent of businesses will never reopen after a major natural disaster, according to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. Among those that do, roughly 70 percent last only two years.
Business Continuity as a Service (BCaaS)
Traditionally, Business Continuity has been seen as an expensive insurance policy. Now, Providers are rolling out BCaaS as a separate managed service product, where
customers receive a BC expert to help monitor, assess and update planning. Just
because files/databases and applications are stored and recovered, and then worked
on to be up and running doesn’t mean that business doesn’t slow down or you
haven’t lost something. BCaaS empowers businesses to immediately continue
operating.
Benefits include: mitigation of production downtime- non interrupted, free data flow for optimum productivity, accessibility: more providers are offering this solution so even remote business have options for services that fit their business, you only pay for services you use, easy backup and easy data restore.
According to a recent Gartner report, 43% of companies were put out of business by a major loss of computer records and only 6% of companies can survive a major data loss.
