A2zDataRecovery

Disaster recovery solutions are used when a disaster strikes. Downtime is inevitable in disasters and the cost of the consequent business interruption should be added to the cost of data recovery and other direct costs. In earlier days, when the volume of data was not all that stupendous, this cost might have been justified; but with the ever increasing data volumes, the cost of managing everything has gone beyond affordable levels.

It is in this context that business continuity solutions might be a better choice. Business continuity solutions involve ensuring the data for continued business operations will be available even in case of a disaster. For example, all data might be replicated so that if one data store fails, another can replace it as the primary data store.

Business continuity solutions are more expensive than simple data recovery. However, they avoid the costs of downtime.
