Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) refers to cloud-based solutions enabling rapid recovery of IT operations at an alternate location after a disruptive event like a natural disaster, cyber attack or power outage immobilizes primary data center infrastructure.

How DRaaS Relates to Managed IT:

– Delivers failover orchestration, temporary compute capacity, storage backups and networking.
– Replicates workloads to public, private or hybrid cloud.
– MSPs architect and support transition to resilient DRaaS environments meeting RTO/RPOs.

Example:

A regional bank implements a DRaaS solution through its MSP to restore essential systems at a cloud recovery site, limiting downtime if hurricane flooding incapacitates their headquarters facility.

Key Takeaways:

– Cloud-centered disaster recovery solutions for uptime assurance.
– MSP-managed DRaaS offerings meet security, compliance and latency demands.
– Vital for industry sectors where downtime carries major cost and customer impact.
– WPG brings DRaaS expertise across applications, data and workflow intricacies.
