Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Regardless of company size or industry, your business can't afford downtime, but it's hard to justify improving your disaster recovery (DR) capabilities when you're under pressure to cut IT costs and when DR is seen as an expensive insurance policy. There has been a direct correlation in DR between speed of recovery and cost — the faster you wanted to recover, the more it would cost you. But new cloud-based recovery services offer a way to achieve the recovery capabilities of advanced DR services at a more affordable, subscription-based price. With storage-as-a-service, backup-as-a-service, and replication-as a-service, IT operations professionals can now incorporate new services into their DR contracts to meet a range of application recovery requirements across the organization. In combination with virtualization technologies, these solutions break the cost/value correlation, ushering in a new era of affordability to DR.
