Without Cloud-based DR With Cloud-based DR
Every business wants to protect its operations from downtime and loss of data. But today, there are more applications, systems and data to protect than ever before. To put it simply, business—and the technology that supports it—is evolving too fast.
Like many, you may find that you lack the time and resources to adequately extend Disaster Recovery (DR) to safeguard all aspects of your organization. As a result, gaps in DR coverage put your business at risk.
