10 Things We Love About Disaster Recovery as a Service

Disaster Recovery (DR), whether procured from a specialist service provider, or set up by in house staff, is an ongoing and a very significant commitment for any organisation. DR has been designed for organisations to survive after unplanned or unforeseen events such as hardware failure, power outage, human error, cyber-attacks or natural disasters.

Effects of these situations may not always be direct. The results could significantly impact the supply chain of a company, like the now infamous NotPetya virus that originated in a family run software company in Ukraine, and spread to customers worldwide. The good news is that a well designed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution like Ekco’s can help companies overcome these potentially catastrophic situations.
