Proof that you can get everything “as a service” these days, Cohesity announced the general availability of disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS).
Cohesity sees gold in “as service” stuff. Last month it was offering a backup as a service (BaaS), and next month, it is planning to release a Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) portfolio.
The new offering extends the exceptional disaster recovery (DR) capabilities provided by Cohesity SiteContinuity. It adds the ability to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a recovery location for failover and failback in a Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
The big idea is that it will minimise downtime and data loss, meet service level agreements (SLAs) and generally simplify operations.
Cohesity vice president of product management Matt Waxman said that in an age of crippling ransomware attacks, the number one concern many IT leaders have is maintaining business continuity if they get hit. DRaaS can help organisations recover quickly and cost-effectively.
This reduces the separate services, solutions, and administrative consoles that organisations have traditionally had to invest in and maintain for data backup, disaster recovery, and other data management use cases.
