I’m certain you are familiar with the costs associated with having a secondary site for disaster recovery purposes. Your investments in replication software and the required software licenses for servers, storage, and security, the costs add up quick. Utilizing Claxitor Elevate DRaaS you can eliminate most of these additional costs all together. DRaaS offering eliminates the need for the following expenses:

• Owning or leasing space for a secondary data center
   
• Monthly costs associated with power, cooling, and internet bandwidth at the secondary site
   
• Purchase or lease of servers, storage, and network equipment for the secondary site
   
• Travel to and from data centers or onsite staff at the secondary data center
   

​​Remove complexity

As demonstrated in the list above, building and maintaining a secondary DR site can be complex. If all of that infrastructure could be eliminated, then the administration, upgrade requirements, and maintenance contracts could be eliminated as well.

​

Reduce IT resources spent on DR

DRaaS can be deployed within days (depending on the number of servers) as compared to the weeks or months it can take to build a secondary disaster recovery site. And by reducing complexity and simplifying the DR solution with a single provider, businesses and their IT groups save a tremendous amount of time—when compared to managing their own DR site.

Provide a comprehensive DR solution

Many times companies who implement their own disaster recovery site have to start by protecting the most critical servers first. In some cases, they are never able to protect all their servers. Because DRaaS is much easier and more affordable than do-it-yourself DR, many companies are able to protect all of their servers (physical and virtual) within a reasonable time frame and budget.
