# DRaaS Capabilities for All Your Worst Case Scenarios

Whether from ransomware, hardware failures, natural disasters, or human error, outages cost more than time and money. They damage reputations that take years to build and hours to crumble. To minimize that damage, organizations need to deploy disaster recovery solutions with the lowest possible recovery point objective (RPO) – how far back you want to replicate – and recovery time objective (RTO) – how quickly you want to restore.

# Disaster Recovery as a Service

## Recovery Options for All Your Worst Case Scenarios

It’s hard to prioritize a service you actively don’t ever want to use. It’s harder to recover from a disaster you’re not prepared for. Whether from ransomware, hardware failures, natural disasters, or human error, outages cost more than time and money. They damage reputations that take years to build and hours to crumble. Building disaster recovery on your own increases complexity for your team, incurs costly capex outlays, and puts your resilience at risk.
