AWS Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Disaster Recovery is an organisations documented process that they put in place to regain access to their IT infrastructure and return to a fully operational state in the event of a disaster – this could be a natural disaster, cyber attack, or even accidental.

There are many types of Disaster Recovery. Here are some of the options that we can offer at Covenco: Workplace Recovery, High Availability, DRaaS, BaaS, On-Premise Backup, Immutable Backup, Tape Out, Relocatable Recovery, Fixed-site Recovery, Dedicated Recovery, and Mobile Recovery

The main goal of Disaster Recovery is to reduce the overall risk to a business by minimising downtime, limiting disruption and damage, preventing severe loss of data, minimise the overall cost of a disaster, limiting brand damage, training staff in what to do in a disaster (before one happens) in order to provide a smooth path to restoration.

Creating a DR plan can be a complex and time-consuming process. Working with a professional disaster recovery company will ensure that all the boxes are ticked and the appropriate testing is carried out to ensure a smooth path to restoration, should the worst happen.

DRaaS or Disaster Recovery as a Service is a cloud-based service or solution provided by a third party. It is designed to protect a business’s critical data against major disasters such as cyber-attack, natural disasters, or accidents. It should also minimise downtime, allowing an organisation to return quickly, to fully operational status again.
