What is Disaster Recovery as a Service?
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a cloud-based solution that helps organisations recover IT systems and data whenever disasters or disruptive incidents occur.
Cyber crime, power outages, hardware malfunction, fires and flooding – should the worst happen, our DRaaS solutions make sure your backup and recovery is covered. So, your business can get up and running again swiftly and your data is protected.
Fortunately, hiring a full-time disaster recovery specialist or building a datacentre are no longer your only options. ARO offers a cloud-based disaster recovery process that’s not only comprehensive, but offers the flexibility and scalability needed by businesses today.

Disaster Recovery as a Service FAQs
The three types of disaster recovery are on-premise disaster recovery, cloud-based disaster recovery, and hybrid disaster recovery.
DRaaS works by replicating critical IT systems and data to the cloud. In case of a disaster, organisations are able to quickly transition operations to the cloud, minimising downtime.
Unlike traditional methods that may involve manual and complex processes, DRaaS uses automates many recovery aspects. It also uses cloud technology, eliminating the need for extensive on-premise infrastructure.
