Why Disaster Recovery as a Service is Something Businesses Should Consider

Downtime leads to lost productivity, customers, and revenue and ultimately hurts your bottom-line. This is why business cannot afford downtime and the negative consequences that come with it. It is vital to be prepared when disaster strikes. If you live in the path of regular natural disasters, you know how important it is to be prepared, however, many corporations and organizations don’t take precautions with their data in case of a disaster. This type of risk can lead to damaging results. 

Common Disaster Risk Sources

When it comes to protecting data, risks can be present at every corner. Whether it’s a natural disaster, weather-related, human caused, or technical issues, there are many disaster risks that you must be prepared to deal with.

• Natural disasters. Floods, fires, tornadoes, and earthquakes are some of the natural disasters that can strike at any time and destroy your vital data.
