Over the past few years, data retention technology has increased rapidly. It is now easier, faster and more effective to protect IT assets against major threats. Backup and disaster recovery are now cloud-based including DRaaS and private cloud. Although the two have similarities major differences do exist.
How does DRaaS differ from Private Cloud?
DRaaS and private cloud are both cloud-based. DRaaS can be provided on either a public or private cloud. They also have the same end in mind – secure It and disaster recovery. However, the methods and implementation of these two approaches differ.
The private cloud adopts more of a do-it-yourself approach with isolated access. The responsibility for the cost and managing of the private cloud does not fall to a third party but on to the shoulders of the organization’s IT department. This results in costs for staffing, management and maintenance.
On the other hand, in the case of DRaaS providers, a third-party data service center provides an automated, ready-made platform. It automates both the workload and the failover. It is based on replication in which copying is continuously sent into cloud storage, available in case of disaster. If a negative situation occurs, it is easy to failover into the recovery environment until all IT matters are resolved.
DRaaS and Private Cloud
Both DRaaS and private cloud have the same results in mind. However, their approaches differ. It is up to the individual organization to decide which will provide them with the protection they require when disaster strikes.
