## Enhancing Resilience While Protecting IT Investments

 ![Group of colleagues in a meeting around a table with charts and a whiteboard]()

This insurance company had invested heavily in its well-architected IT environment, but its disaster recovery (DR) solution fell short of the resilience and validation needed to protect the business. Its current DR solution couldn’t be tested under real-world conditions, leaving it exposed to operational disruption, cyber risk, and potential recovery costs. Expedient Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) gave the company testable recovery, along with Expedient Colocation, helping protect its existing IT investments while reducing the risk of unplanned costs.
