"Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is one of the most exciting IT modernization options available to SMBs. Those folks have long known that they needed to protect their organizations, but thought BC/DR was not viable for them," said Jason Buffington, Senior Analyst, Data Protection, Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. "With the combination of the rich DRaaS features of nScaled with the Acronis AnyData Engine (and the trusted Acronis brand), midsized organizations have a compelling and cost-effective option that is certainly worth investigating."
