Understanding DRaaS: Trends, Challenges and Best Practices

The cloud offers a variety of advantages over traditional approaches to off-site disaster recovery (DR): It eliminates the capital expenditure of building and maintaining a secondary site for DR and provides flexibility and virtually limitless storage capacity.
