Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) provides organizations security and stability in unstable situations. Aggressive Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) deliver orchestrated retrieval and access to data during failover events such as data loss, ransomware, human error, and more. Potential risks lurk around every corner and, if not prepared, have the power to devastate entire companies.
Xigent offers DRaaS as a robust and flexible solution that grants IT professionals peace of mind when protecting their organization’s data and critical operations. Here are seven reasons every business should invest in Disaster Recovery solutions.
In the event of a disaster, such as a cyber-attack, natural disaster, or hardware failure, organizations can quickly recover their critical systems and data, reducing downtime and the financial impact. Downtime results in significant economic losses and damage to an organization’s reputation. Businesses can minimize downtime by implementing a disaster recovery solution and ensuring that their systems and data remain accessible, even during a disaster.
Insurance does not always guarantee data loss coverage, making data protection another crucial aspect of disaster recovery. Natural disasters, such as floods, fires, or extreme weather, can result in significant data loss, making disaster recovery an essential component of any organization’s data protection strategy. With an effective disaster recovery plan, organizations can ensure that their critical data remains safe and accessible in all situations. This includes customer data, financial information, and other sensitive information critical to the business’s operation.
For organizations performing in regulated industries, such as healthcare, finance, and government, disaster recovery is especially important, as it helps ensure compliance with various regulations and standards. Xigent’s DRaaS solutions are designed to meet regulatory compliance requirements, making them a good choice for organizations in structured industries. This guarantees that sensitive information remains secure and confidential and that organizations meet their obligations under various regulations and standards.
With a disaster recovery plan in place, organizations can maintain business continuity and ensure that their critical systems and data remain accessible, even during a disaster. This allows organizations to continue operating and serving their customers, even in the face of unexpected disruptions.
Implementing a disaster recovery solution can be a significant investment, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Xigent’s DRaaS solutions are cost-effective, allowing organizations to protect themselves without breaking the bank. This is especially important for organizations with limited budgets, as it provides them an affordable way to guard their critical systems.
As businesses grow, their disaster recovery needs will too. Xigent’s DRaaS solutions are scalable, allowing organizations to expand their disaster recovery capabilities easily. This is especially important for companies that expect to see significant growth in the future.
Xigent’s bi-annual recovery testing is an essential aspect of the DRaaS journey, providing IT professionals with the confidence that their disaster recovery plan will work when needed. During these tests, Xigent’s team of experts will simulate a disaster scenario and validate the complete restoration of all critical systems and data.
Disaster Recovery as a Service is a critical investment for businesses of all sizes. Its ability to perform when operations are compromised allows organizations to focus on revenue-building projects rather than fretting about potentially harmful situations. By investing in DRaaS, businesses can protect their operations, data, and customers, ensuring long-term success and growth.
