Charting a low-risk path to modern disaster recovery
Several new forces have converged to highlight the urgent need for disaster recovery (DR) and to transform its business case. The sudden shift to remote work, the growing reliance on SaaS applications, and a surging cyberthreat environment have created daunting new challenges to preserving 24/7/365 business uptime. The high cost and relative inflexibility of traditional DR solutions call for new thinking, architectures, and implementations – including a path forward that minimizes business risks. With companies experiencing an average of 14 hours of IT downtime annually, resulting in 545 hours of lost employee productivity, there is a better way ... and we'll be sharing it at DRJ Spring 2021.

Introducing Acronis DeviceLock DLP 9.0
