Discover how Acronis outlines competitors with integrated cyber protection, ensuring unmatched security, backup, and recovery solutions.
Barely a year ago, less than four percent of US workers operated mostly from home (per a Global Workspace Analytics survey, March 2019). Today, the swift global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses overnight to transform to support a majority or near-entirety of remote work environments. Few companies were prepared to address the many new security risks arising from this sudden forced migration.
Implementing a disaster recovery (DR) program used to be hard – from getting space in a co-location data center, to redeploying depreciated hardware, to dealing with dedicated black-box hardware. Through the magic of the cloud and sophisticated software that integrates backup and orchestrates failovers to cloud-based recovery machines for production, a DR offering has now become the simplest way to increase revenues and deepen client relationships. Enabling a fully-functional managed disaster recovery as a service program, leveraging existing client backup data, can be as easy as the flip of a switch.
