State of Data Center Threats
● Major Disasters (top of mind again with
recent Hurricanes)
● Minor Disaster
○ Server failure (one server down can
impact dozens of applications)
○ Storage failure (one storage system
down can impact hundreds of
applications)
● Ransomware Attack
○ Infects user data and also databases
In Terms of Planning Major
Disasters are the Primary
Focus
● Most organizations focus on getting a copy
of data to another location
● Fewer pay attention to how long recovery in
the DR site will take
● Fewer still test the DR process on a regular
basis
● Even fewer understand what return to
normalcy will look like
DRaaS Simplifies DR
● Data is regularly copied to another
location that has COMPUTE resources
● Recovery at the DR site is typically
measured in minutes
● Testing is as easy as pressing a button
● Return to primary is simply a matter of
reversing the backup process and failing
back
Minor Disasters
● Minor disasters include
○ server failure
○ application bug or corruption
○ storage system failure
● It is only minor because of the scope
of impact not severity of the situation
● Most people will be patient with an
organization during a major disaster
○ most people expect minor disasters to be
recovered in minutes not hours
DRaaS Makes Minor
Disasters, Minor
● DRaaS makes frequent
backups (15-30 mins)
○ Low RPO/RTO
● DRaaS can start the
applications within minutes
● Some DRaaS does not require
a failover to the cloud
Ransomware ● Ransomware corrupts or encrypts
files on a network
● Infects organization by users clicking
on suspicious emails or downloading
files
● Encryption happens during the
middle of the day
○ hours after backup
● For most organizations paying the
ransom is faster than restoring a few
hundred thousand files
DRaaS Makes
Ransomware Recovery
Easy
● DRaaS makes frequent backups (15-30 mins)
● Data can be easily copied back or...
○ in the case of complete file server
corruption DRaaS appliance hosts the
file server
But Wait, There’s More
● Laptop protection, data
migration, data center
modernization, service
windows
● Key DRaaS Features
○ Frequent Backups
○ Instant Recovery on appliance or
in the cloud
○ Orderly restore
Detailing the Other Use
Cases
● Data Center Modernization
● Maintenance / Service Windows
● Test-Dev / DevOps
● Compliance
● Laptop backup / loss protection
