#3: Couple DRaaS with Data Protection

Cloud is an ideal place for long-term data retention.

• Isolated from production data

• Remote from ransomware

• Lower cost of storage

Most hyperscale storage clouds require data to be moved to a spin-up cloud prior to DRaaS.

Look for a provider that dual-purposes data:

• Kept warm for quick DRaaS recovery

• Archived for contracted retention period

#4 – Pay for only what you use

Storage and recovery services can get quite expensive.

Watch out for hidden fees!

Look for tiered pricing that allows contracting for just the

volumes you require for the mandated length of time.

Choose a provider that offers different DRaaS services for

different classes of applications.
