TRADITIONAL DR VS. DRaaS


TRADITIONAL DR

• Increased hardware and storage

• Typically limited to a 24-hour RPO

• Long Recovery Time Objective (RTO) to restore manually from backups

• Difficult and time consuming to test

• Requires significant architectural work

DRaaS

• Leverages cloud and economies of scale

• Variable RPO down to 15 minutes with application-level consistency

• Restored by the provider with much shorter RTOs

• Ability to view and test servers and data on production cloud equipment

• Pre-designed and validated for common environments
