Database Disaster Recovery

Cloud: a game-changing tool for Database Disaster Recovery

The cloud has significantly influenced different IT areas in the past five years, with Disaster Recovery experiencing the most notable change.

Focusing on Database Disaster Recovery indicates a company's size and maturity. Some companies overlook DR due to the belief it requires resources that have been allocated elsewhere, risking more than they realise.

Cloud-based Database Disaster Recovery is more cost-effective than traditional methods. There's no need for upfront costs or to purchase extra hardware, network resources, storage in a data centre, or dedicated staff. All of this is included in a single affordable monthly subscription.

The expense of downtime can amount to tens of thousands of pounds per hour, based on the company's size. Considering disaster recovery in advance is financially wise. The cloud now enables companies that previously couldn't afford it to access DR.

Many believe we are in a data-driven era where data is crucial for businesses. Good disaster recovery services can prevent a minor incident from becoming a major disaster.

DSP specialises in Cloud DR and has numerous references to back this up. By offering DR as a service that exceeds standard expectations, we not only make it efficient in terms of time but also in terms of cost.
