Being a digitally (and soon AI-powered) company means you can no longer afford downtime. Disaster recovery is essential for minimizing the impact of unexpected downtime and avoiding prohibitively expensive ransomware threats.

Ask yourself...

- When was the last time you validated your disaster recovery plan?
- Are you confident you can meet recovery requirements for critical workloads?
- Were you dependent on the now retired Nutanix DRaaS platform?
- Does your DR rely on hardware procurement for success?
- On average, one minute of downtime costs $15,000 a minute, or over $900,000 an hour, nearly double the damage compared to 2024. And the size of ransomware payouts have tripled in the same timeframe, averaging $40M.1

Watch this webinar session to understand:

- Why hardware-dependent DR plans leave organizations exposed
- What the sunset of the Nutanix DRaaS service means to recovery strategies
- The benefits of cloud-based disaster recovery to eliminate hardware risk and reduce cost
- Expedient’s fast past to recovery readiness for today’s Nutanix environments
