Why are organizations increasingly choosing disaster recovery-as-a- Service (DRaaS)?
DRaaS addresses the most common challenges of DR - complex, high cost, and unreliable – without the need to manage and maintain your own DR site. VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is our newest DR solution for this. It utilizes cost-efficient cloud storage, offers easy to use SaaS-based management, includes continuous DR health check and audit reports, and provides customers a pay-as-you-need capacity model.
What if my organization is not able to adopt DRaaS?
Some organizations may not want to or be able to adopt DRaaS for multiple reasons, including compliance or internal policies, or a need to use a specific storage or replication technology not supported by the DRaaS solution. In these cases, we offers Site Recovery Manager, which is deployed in production in thousands of environments.
