A Computer Weekly buyer's guide to on-site, off-site and cloud-based disaster recovery

With businesses becoming increasingly dependent on data to function, being able to recover quickly from an IT systems failure is critical. In this 14-page buyer’s guide, Computer Weekly looks at the various options available when implementing disaster recovery.

  • DRaas and the key decision points in DR-as-a-service

    In this e-guide we look at the key decisions you’ll need to make about the blend of DRaas your organisation wants, which of the key cloud providers are best for which elements of DR service delivery, the pros and cons of moving elements of disaster recovery to the cloud and which to keep closer to home, and the 12 key steps to DRaas deployment.

  • Disaster recovery has never been so easy or important

    Disaster recovery has never been more important because at the same time that digital transformation has made most modern enterprises entirely dependent on their IT systems to function, cyber attackers have stepped up their capabilities to go after sensitive data wherever it is found, with most IT leaders reporting major systems outages.

    Fortunately, due to the same digital transformation, cloud-based disaster recovery options and services are proliferating and maturing, making it easier and cheaper than ever before for organisations to ensure that if their IT systems are affected by cyber attack or natural disaster, they are either able to keep critical systems running or recover their systems and data quickly after any disruption.

     Disaster recovery, therefore, is a key element of business resilience, which is increasingly being recognised as the main goal of cyber defence. But every business is different, so each needs to identify the best route to disaster recovery, starting with a disaster recovery strategy and plan.
