Tech analyst house, Gartner, Inc., recently released their Magic Quadrant for Disaster Recovery as a Service. Gartner describes Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions as “offering a productized service for which the provider manages server image and data replication to the cloud, disaster recovery run book creation, automated failover and failback between on-premises and the cloud, and network element and functionality configuration as needed during and for recovery operations.” To be considered DRaaS, all elements of the service must be included in the service offering contract between the provider and customer, and must also include a standardized SLA for recovery, according to Gartner.
