| | October 20166CIOReviewIn the wake of disasters especially, the 9/11 incident and Hurricane Katrina, many organizations hit the rock bottom with the irrevocable loss of data alongside experiencing the unthinkable damage to life and property. The very recent data breach of Yahoo exposed massive number of critical information such as real names, email addresses, date of birth, and phone numbers to spammers. These events besides having huge economic impacts in the long-run have often exposed the blind spots in firms' security systems and their inability to anticipate risks. Firm that brood about the grave repercussions after the mishaps, react hastily with the proverbial, `stitch in time saves nine' approach to blindly ward off any possible issues in the future. However, the only probability here is that the level of sophistication of attacks and risks of data from human errors and hardware failures only increase with the changing variables in the technology market. Solution providers are therefore diving deeper to understand and monitor data storage environments of companies much before a disaster occurs. Ensuing this, a significant group of tech evangelists suggest adept plans and policies as opposed to undergoing `the data salvage operations' for business continuity. Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) stands as a must and is many steps ahead of the conventionalities practiced by companies that have spent a fortune in building their own top-of-the-line data center. Owing to its key capacities such as quick recovery span, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, automation, scalability, and simple testing features, the prevalence of DRaaS and disaster recovery services has grown among SMBs. Adding to this, vendors of DR software and services are guiding organizations view through their current workflows, test for gaps, and take remediation measures instead of implementing new back-up plans without having the know-how or measuring its impact on the bottom-line.To broaden the outlook of firms to gear up and ward off disasters to their business and data, we present a realistic view of the current market of disaster recovery technologies and introduce new methods for recovery and back up plans through this edition of 20 most promising disaster recovery solution providers.Write to us your thoughts.
