Disaster Recovery Advantages with Cloud Storage
Small and Mid-Sized Organizations Gain Disaster Recovery Advantages Using Cloud Storage
Brought to you by DSD Business Systems and the Aberdeen Group
In October of 2010 Aberdeen surveyed over 100 organizations with formal Disaster Recovery (DR) programs to learn whether they used public Cloud storage and if so, what benefits were realized in their Disaster Recovery performance. Aberdeen discovered that organizations that had moved at least part of their data storage to the Cloud recovered from downtime events almost 4 times faster than those with no formal Cloud storage program. In addition, users of Cloud storage met their Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) more often than those storing their data in-house, and saw larger year-over-year improvements in the time needed to recover from disaster or downtime. This report outlines these findings and provides a roadmap for how organizations can leverage public Cloud storage to improve their ability to hit their RTOs and increase their overall DR performance.
