DRaaS significantly lowers the cost threshold, as it runs on a shared infrastructure, which translates to less investment for the vendor and more savings for the customers. Further virtualization and automation enable vendors to offer more flexibility, where companies can sign up for services for all of their applications or for few ones and use them as needed.DRaaS shortens the backup and recovery times, and streamlines management and storage of data instantly. This makes it possible for organizations of all sizes to protect growing data sets with their standard backup window without negatively impacting work production environments. Organizations struggling to tackle explosive data growth, compliance requirements, the cost and complexity of non-traditional applications like IoT, Big Data, and the on-going transition to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) are increasingly looking at DRaaS, which in turn is enabling them to concentrate more on their core business. However, having a DR plan in place is only one piece of assurance. The other is to keep track of the backup systems and their performance. Organizations need to spend time in training the employees about doing the easiest task in IT world: to check if a system performed the required backup. Often organizations get complacent once they employ DR systems, unaware of the precipice they are teetering on. To help the organizations understand the importance of having a capable DR system in place, and more importantly furnish a capable DR system, our editorial team evaluated numerous DR system vendors and arrived at Top 20 Disaster Recovery Solution Providers list. These companies have shown enough capability to stay relevant with the current technological trends and market conditions. Please share with us how the dynamics of technological advancements are shaping your DR plans.Jeevan GeorgeManaging Editoreditor@cioreview.comEditorialDisaster Recovery: Into the Cloud
