In an increasingly connected world that is dependent on digital space, not thinking about data security is an ever-growing risk for companies. In this scenario, with the advancement of technology, corporations have solution options available on the market that meet the most diverse needs for protecting their information, such as Disaster Recovery as a Service, for example.
Without adequate protection, your data can simply disappear overnight.
Threats come in different forms and, if you do not have a well-defined action plan and solid data security, the risk is high. Some of the most common situations are the famous hacker attacks, carried out through malware and ransomware.
But we can also list natural disasters that compromise data centers and even human errors — such as in 1998, when an employee’s mistake caused 90% of the movie Toy Story 2 to be deleted, throwing more than a year of work into the trash.
In addition to massive financial losses, data loss generates delays in business operations, causing the company to lose agility and speed in customer service, new business opportunities, and projects under development.
DRaaS is a security technology that provides a guarantee for a company’s operation, even in crisis situations.
The logic of the concept consists of replicating systems, data, and servers — both physical and digital — in an environment leased outside the company, which is totally secure and digital. The leasing ensures that data can be accessed at any time, even if the data recovery process after a disaster is underway.
This enables the company to have risk control, reducing damage from system downtime and operating normally even after the disaster. Furthermore, this model operates “as a service,” meaning the customer only pays for the service when it is used, preventing fixed costs and unnecessary expenses.
Hiring a DRaaS service works based on the number of servers to be mirrored and the storage space that will be used. The value changes according to the needs of each company and only changes when it is actually used.
Take an emergency where a company’s data center becomes inoperable for a few hours, for example. DRaaS allows the operation to be carried out on external servers, located in a data center, where the company’s data was being replicated up until the moment of the disaster.
Consumption is based on the use of memory, bandwidth, and CPU, resulting in charging for the hours in which the system had to be used.
In cases of disaster, DRaaS is a contingency plan that takes over the company’s operations at the moment of the incident. The main advantage of this protection model is its redundancy, which allows companies to continue their operations even in crisis scenarios, avoiding financial losses.
In addition to the benefits regarding security and autonomy that the corporation has available to provide flow and continuity to its operations even in chaotic scenarios, the system’s facilities are diverse. Some of them include:
Security The greatest benefit is security. The system enables data encryption in transit and at rest, giving the IT team autonomy in data recovery. In cases of crisis, it is possible to recover the operation in minutes.
Simple Implementation In recent years, with the popularization of the solution and consequent investments in DR development, it is possible to implement the containment plan quickly and affordably. Additionally, its configuration is IT-Friendly, avoiding the use of other specific software and enabling configuration in just a few minutes.
Cost Reduction As the system works “as a service,” the cost is lower, allowing operational expenses to be totally predictable and measurable.
Rapid Response in Case of Disaster As the system is located in a secure and totally digital environment, it is possible to resume operations in a matter of minutes. Thus, the company does not compromise itself in relation to customers and partners, avoiding financial losses.
Flexibility DRaaS offers companies a variety of recovery scopes, depending on the nature and severity of the disaster and the corporation’s protection and security needs.
To adopt DRaaS, the company needs to have a real understanding of what the system is and if it makes sense to replicate its data in a virtual environment.
It is worth saying that regardless of size or market, all companies that have digital applications and use IT infrastructure run risks every day. The advantages regarding the model come from the fact that the company does not need to rebuild its systems.
Furthermore, it is essential that before adopting a DRaaS strategy, the IT team understands the needs, listing necessary requirements and the objectives of the contingency services. This makes it possible to choose the right provider — a determining factor for the success of the operation and duplication in the virtual environment, ensuring positive results in the maintenance and monitoring of the system in the short, medium, and long term.
