Drive Your Business with the Right Level of Protection
Before you embark on your disaster recovery journey, you need to assess your existing environment and prioritize business needs to determine the best approach. That means considering questions such as what do you need to protect, what impact will DR have on internal and external services, and what are your compliance requirements.
This infographic from VMware explains the considerations and use cases for implementing cloud-based DR and how VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery can make DR easier, scalable, and affordable.
Importance of Disaster Recovery
Having a disaster recovery plan is crucial because 76% of organizations have faced at least one incident in the past two years that required such a plan. Additionally, 69% of IT decision-makers lack confidence in their ability to recover all business-critical data following a cyber-attack. A well-structured disaster recovery strategy helps ensure business continuity and protects vital data.
Optimizing Disaster Recovery Costs
Businesses can optimize disaster recovery costs by using a tiered approach that aligns recovery strategies with application requirements. VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery allows organizations to tune their Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to match the criticality of their applications, ensuring they only pay for the protection they need. Gartner reports that 55% to 65% of Infrastructure and Operations leaders often overspend on backup and recovery by at least 30%, highlighting the importance of cost optimization.
Ransomware Recovery Strategy
When developing a ransomware recovery strategy, businesses should focus on creating non-disruptive validations of immutable cloud-based recovery points. This allows for rapid recovery of virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud, which is essential given that a ransomware attack is expected to affect an organization every 11 seconds by the end of 2021. Ensuring that recovery plans are regularly tested and orchestrated can significantly enhance readiness and confidence in recovery operations.
