How does cloud reduce hardware costs for disaster recovery?
On-premises disaster recovery requires the purchase of duplicate servers, leading to significant capital expenditures (CapEx) and ongoing operational expenses (OpEx) for power and cooling. In contrast, cloud-based disaster recovery eliminates the need for physical hardware, allowing you to pay only for the resources you use during a disaster or drill, thereby reducing unnecessary costs.
What are the cost benefits of cloud-based disaster recovery infrastructure?
Cloud-based disaster recovery allows organizations to replicate applications using low-cost resources, avoiding the need for expensive compute during regular operations. You only incur costs for comprehensive resources when launching your disaster recovery site during an event, making it a more economical choice compared to maintaining duplicate infrastructure on-premises.
How does cloud impact management and monitoring of disaster recovery?
Cloud solutions offer better automation, reducing the need for extensive IT resources to manage and monitor disaster recovery. Automated server conversion and orchestration streamline the recovery process, minimizing manual configurations and allowing servers to boot natively in the cloud, which can significantly speed up recovery times.
