DRaaSMatters

Adopting opex model to build a disaster plan tailored to the needs of individual applications helps reduce overall cost

Before finalizing the DR strategy ensure you have a robust testing plan for a successful run

Right planning, based on your organization's need for DRaaS is the key for optimal costing

Yes, Indeed there are many. Depending to what extend are you ready to compromise on quality of service provider and plans you opt.

Having a cross team brainstorming or doing a prior testing before choosing a #DRaaS partner coz #DraaSMatters

Crucial to test large-scale DR plans at least twice a year in a secure environment #DraaSMatters

@PrashantK2603 Agree. It requires involvement all the way to the board of the organization!

I think one important aspect to always take into consideration when developing a DR strategy is to make sure that the plan meets your requirements.

@milindtapaswi yes, it does coz #DRaaSMatters

Supply chains are more global today than they were just a few years ago. As a result, many organizations are demanding more visibility
from their suppliers when it comes to resiliency.

I think one important aspect to always take into consideration when developing a DRaaS strategy is to make sure that the plan meets your requirements.

by taking help of an accomplished #vendor, you can ensure you plan well

yes, it has to. Everything starting from the problem to the proposed solution should be considered and brainstormed

Exactly. You always want to ensure that the final cost of your recovery strategy does not exceed the losses you're trying to prevent.

Cloud based DR provides opex model which helps lower costs, especially for smaller enterprises. Being automated Cloud DR sites can be made live within seconds or minutes hence reducing downtime #DRaaSMatters

Yes, organizations can leverage cloud-based solutions to help turn their resiliency into a real competitive advantage.#DRaaSMatters

cloud is indeed the only fit

Hybrid is most appropriate fit to #DRaaS

Yes, in most of the situations.... though security concerns loom large over protection of sensitive data

Cloud is the way many oraganizations are moving to with DRaaS. It is the new normal #DRaaSMatters

yes. For #SMB clients, its also affordability matters alongwith #DRaaSMatters. You agree @simonlporter?

@Gaurav34in Private/hybrid cloud is the answer to the protection concerns of sensitive data.

@PrashantK2603 Agree! Hybrid IT is the reality of the future

May be because of confidence in the cloud. The luxury and confidence of the cloud has carried over to many departments within an organization, including the function of disaster recovery within the IT department.

yes I think so. #Cloud is getting more and more prevalent and pervasive across the org

helps them avoid CapEX and run only with OpEX!! #DRaaSMatters http://ibm.co/1UqfRn...

because that is the ideal path to recovery of business and reputation

Not an option anymore.... saving cost and getting access to high end talent pool are 2 main reasons

DRaaS provides a comprehensive solution covering cloud based disaster recovery planning, provides well planned control of infrastructure environments while continuing to support traditional business processes.

(DRaaS) solutions allow your organization to recover from unpredictable problems, whether it’s a large-scale data breach, flooding at your data center or anything in between #DRaaSMatters

They might got hit by an outage recently or planning for a business expansion while ensuring an Alway-On Business model. Also for cost optimization.

@milindtapaswi You correctly outlined between CapEx and OpEx

Evolution of #DRaaS: http://bit.ly/29kr61...

DRaaS can give organizations the flexibility needed to recover from any location.

DRaaS offers pay-per-use pricing model - allows businesses to pay for long-term data storage and only pay for servers during testing or failover. This significantly reduces cost and makes DR affordable for enterprises Vs traditional options

Cloud it is....

It's not managed in house and doesn't require physical hardware. Cost optimized and hybrid & private cloud are the answer if don't want public cloud.

today's DRaSS is on the cloud, and built with backup redundancies like never before

@Gaurav34in Is cloud the right fit to Disaster Recovery as a Service planning?

With DRaaS you are moving from Capex to Opex. The As a service model is very attractive and affordable

@MattRMorrison Hmm.. Looks like DRaaS is becoming an ideal choice for businesses today.

IBM is well positioned as a #DRaaS leader which makes it easy choice when comparing providers #DRaaSMatters

Clients today understand any kind of downtime brings them not only cost implications but directly affects the brand image and brings in dissatisfied customers. Clients feel challenged building &managing resiliency

it is likely that clients are shying away from publicly acknowledging their troubles. #DRaaSMatters

because it also has high representational risk associated with it

@NiharSTrivedi They probably don’t have the capabilities and experience to handle disasters. And, don't want to show their vulnerability to their clients. It may impact their brand as well.

Brand image is really important to be in business.... so they avoid to accept downtime publicly

Clients aren't too sure of their traditional outdated backup and recovery methods, they need #DRaasMatters

The evolution of emerging technologies- Mobile, IoT have brought expectation for an AlwaysOn world. Disruptions are daily occurrences and can quickly escalate into critical events, leaving organizations at risk

Shorter recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs) across hybrid enterprises can help cater to this demand. bit.ly/DRaaSMatters

Even I have seen the same trend in many organizations that I have dealt with in the past

Business can hardly dream of going offline nowadays. They need to be "always-ON" to service clients from across the globe anytime, anywhere, using any device! That's why #DRaaSMatters

The organizations do cater to customers beyond their time-zone boundaries and need to have a continuous business operations. The organizations need to have an Always-On business operations mode while strategizing for an inevitable disaster.

@NiharSTrivedi Given the constant flux in business conditions and uncertainty increasing manifold #DRaasMatters even more!

the biz environment is more dynamic than ever before

@milindtapaswi True, Offline means off market in today's always ON world

@Gaurav34in yes, Gaurav you pointed out correctly.

@PrashantK2603 365/24/7 has made it a big challenge
