What is managed disaster recovery?
Managed disaster recovery (DR) is a service offered by third-party cloud providers who manage a business’ disaster recovery by replicating their systems and data to a private or public cloud and orchestrating the failover and failback process. Managed DR is also called Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). Companies of all sizes used managed DR and pay for the services via a contract or on a monthly or annual fee.
