Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

What is DRaaS?

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a cloud-based solution that enables businesses to restore their IT systems and critical applications after a major incident. Through a specialized provider, infrastructure is replicated and kept available to ensure business operations can continue even in the event of a disaster.

How does it differ from Backup as a Service (BaaS)?

Although both services are part of a business continuity strategy, they serve different purposes:

• BaaS focuses on data backup and recovery.
• DRaaS covers the full recovery of systems, applications, and working environments, reducing downtime and enabling rapid business resumption.

Why is it essential for businesses?

Because it protects against cyberattacks, hardware failures, natural disasters, or human error that can disrupt critical operations. With DRaaS, companies ensure business continuity, minimize losses, and comply with regulatory requirements for availability and resilience.
