In recent times, there has been a steady rise in the frequency and severity of cybersecurity attacks targeting businesses of all sizes. In the past two years, these attacks have hit an all-time high increasing to over 400% relative to the past years. During these attacks, mission-critical data are often exposed to loss and theft. Sadly, some small to medium-sized business (SMB) owners assume that they are not at risk. This is the worst assumption that any SMB owner can have. Hackers indiscriminately attack firms regardless of their sizes. To deal with the potential loss of data during an unanticipated event, you are highly encouraged to partner with an IT services provider in Atlanta offering Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).
What is Disaster Recovery as a Service?
DRaaS is a cloud-based service, which utilizes cloud resources and infrastructure to protect a firm’s data and applications from the disruptions that might arise in cases of man-made or natural disasters. This service is offered by backup and disaster recovery providers in Atlanta.
Is DRaaS the Right Solution for SMBs?
Consider this scenario: an SMB without a documented and implementable disaster recovery plan risk losing an average of $3000 per day in the event that an unanticipated disaster strike. As you can see, that is a hefty price to pay for what can be avoided by simply hiring an IT services provider in Atlanta who will design and implement a disaster recovery plan for your business.
Why is DRaaS Good for You?
- Your IT team is free to focus on your firm’s core operations – A decision to outsource DRaaS means that your in-house IT will have all the time to focus their energies on providing critical IT support for your business.
- Your backup system will be up and running in no time – Considering that the system is cloud based, your MSP will be able to set it up and have it fully operational in a relatively shorter time compared to hardware-based backups which are normally found on-site. This also means faster recovery in case you suffer from a disaster.
- You save money – First, you save money because in-house systems are very expensive and second you save money by only paying for what you will have used.
