The ability to leverage disaster recovery between multiple locations
The data center of a highly redundant cloud service provider rarely will experience an outage. However, it is far more likely that the traditional causes of implementing disaster recovery will occur—user error, software errors and even ransomware can happen in a cloud environment. In those cases, the organization contracting for cloud services needs a quick way to recover, and, in some cases, this is where its disaster recovery strategy comes into place. It may take hours to recover from a backup, or that backup may be half a day old, so appropriate contingency plans are essential. By leveraging a cloud-to-cloud disaster recovery solution, an organization can fail over to another location and be up and running quickly.
