Disaster recovery (DR) does not get the attention it deserves from businesses because of the cost and complexity of deploying a full DR capability. Moreover, business units do not see a direct benefit from DR — until a disaster occurs.

Best practice organizations have robust DR capabilities that are regularly tested. This Technology Spotlight examines how cloud computing can be leveraged to develop DR capabilities that are both less expensive and easier to deploy than traditional methodologies.

The paper also looks at the role of Commvault’s cloud-based DR solution, in the important market for DR services.
