Disaster recovery essential for enterprise applications

One strategy that has been employed by multiple companies running enterprise applications is the deployment of off-site recovery. This process can be automated, and high-end virtual applications are often packaged with a built-in automation solution for data recovery. IT staffs can also deploy remote console servers in order to better facilitate the process of backing up and recovering vital company resources. By utilizing multiple redundancy strategies, a company increases its capacity to respond to a server failure or application crash with swift, comprehensive solutions.

Multiple angles for recovery
Forbes points out that there are three approaches to enterprise application disaster recovery. It is typical for companies to integrate multiple strategies into their redundancy plan, but looking at each approach on its own provides a better idea of what a complete disaster recovery plan looks like. In-house solutions, a relatively inexpensive approach, are better for salvaging an enterprise application's pertinent data than getting customers back online as soon as possible. That's why companies are increasingly turning to Recovery-as-a-Solution (RaaS) and managed recovery solutions. These strategies increase a company's operating expense, but may be outweighed by the losses the firm could suffer because of downtime.
