Types of Disasters you need to be ready for.
Disaster recovery has historically been out of reach for all but the largest enterprises. Not so anymore. With the cloud, disaster recovery becomes accessible to even the most bootstrapped startup. With that accessibility comes a responsibility. Businesses of all sizes and maturity need to ensure that they are disaster proof.

At a global cost of $175billion in 2018, you need to be geographically diversified to ensure that your business can recover when nature strikes.
-
Not something that you can easily anticipate but hardware failures are a fact of life. As equipment ages, your risk increases.

4 reasons why Disaster Recovery is better in the cloud.
-
Your cloud-based recovery solution is a pay-as-you-go arrangement meaning you don't have to invest and maintain expensive infrastructure.
-
With an excellent recovery success rate, cloud backup services also deliver intelligent de-duplication and single-step recovery which means quicker data restoration.
-
It's not just that the cloud is geographically diverse, your disaster recovery provider has redundancy and backups of their own so it's virtually impossible to lose your data.
-
Your disaster recovery solution will scale to fit your growing needs on a pay-as-you go basis so you have complete control of what mission-critical systems are backed-up.
