Why DRaaS Makes Perfect Business Sense

Why DRaaS Makes Perfect Business Sense

February 17

The benefits of having a back-up and disaster recovery plan might seem obvious. You are mitigating risk, minimizing downtime and remaining compliant. Too often, management will forget or not allocate enough resources to backup and disaster recovery. This makes it a great opportunity for the channel. Analysts predict the DRaaS business will grow ten-fold over the next three years.

Furthermore, the margin in selling DR and the recurring revenue from as a service sales (DRaaS) make it an attractive proposition. MarketsandMarkets have forecasted that DRaaS will grow from $1.68bn in 2016 to $11.11bn by 2021. It would have an estimated CAGR of 45.9%. MSPs can offload the burden of data protection and data security and ensure business continuity. Simply licensed, easily managed and rapidly delivered!

MSP backup and recovery solutions solve two critical problems for companies. That their data is not protected and that they can’t afford to spend the money to ensure that it is.

A DRaaS business doesn’t mean just selling backup. It would be a full disaster recovery solution that can keep data safe, accessible and recoverable at a moment’s notice. Estimating the cost of downtime for a client is key to demonstrating why a complete disaster recovery service is well worth the price.
