Using Cloud for Disaster Recovery

The base premise of disaster recovery is the way you handle your business in case your primary business site meets a disaster. In my opinion, disaster recovery can be considered as an IT subset of the overall Business Continuity Planning including non IT factors of business as well.
When an organization chooses to host applications on cloud, it automatically gets into the first level of disaster recovery. The application along with all its data is already in a remote data center and the loss of your primary business premise does not affect access to applications and data. They can still be accessed from any other computer and internet connection.
You can also opt for a disaster recovery site for your service provider. This could add to the budget but ensures your data safety and continuity even if their data center is in trouble.
For a low cost disaster recovery option, Ace Data Abhraya would be the right choice for organizations where investment in full online disaster recovery site is still a long way to go. Ace Data Abhraya offers unique backup propositions wherein your backed up data can be used remotely in the event of a primary site disaster, while it continues to offer all the benefits of daily backups which are compressed and deduplicated on-premise to minimize the load on the bandwidth.
In the coming days, we would explain how using Ace Data Abhraya in different deployment scenarios helps organizations achieve disaster recovery for their critical data.
