Disaster recovery is a necessity for an organisation's cyber resilience strategy. Seventy-six percent of respondents to Gartner’s IT Disaster Recovery Trends and Benchmarks survey reported an incident during the past two years that required disaster recovery, with more than 50% experiencing at least two incidents. The frequency of these incidents proves how essential comprehensive backup and recovery plans are to ensure business continuity.

However, disaster recovery can be daunting, expensive, and complex. Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) takes the management and overhead off your hands - while ensuring your data and applications are backed up and can be recovered quickly.

Join this webinar to:
- Discuss the evolution and movement from traditional disaster to DRaaS
- Discover how to build an effective recovery plan using DRaaS
- Explore the cost-benefits of partnering with a DRaaS provider
- See why partners should tap into the potential of disaster recovery and provide it as a service

DRaaS takes the burden of planning and managing recovery resources off the organization and puts it into the hands of specialists. So, why not leave it to the experts?
