Our disaster recovery engineers will guide you through each process, from designing a suitable disaster recovery plan to implementation. 

How Our DRaaS Works

You shouldn’t own off-site IT infrastructures in this technological age. Provision and maintaining on-site environments is time-consuming and costly. Working with us terminates the need for an on-site disaster recovery environment while saving your business a lot of money.

We clone and host your company’s servers in our facilities. Additionally, we execute all disaster recovery plans at our secure facilities lest a disaster shuts down your site and operations.

Businesses can access our DRaaS service conventionally through a subscription or pay-per-use model. For the latter, you only pay when a disaster hits, affecting your business or IT infrastructure.

Since financial institution DRaaS solutions vary in scope and cost, you should evaluate your potential in service delivery based on your business’s unique needs and budget before employing a DRaaS provider. In addition, we will help you assess and understand our service level agreements before working with us.

We will explain in detail all clauses in our disaster recovery plan, from recovery time to critical issues like regional disasters. Additionally, we encourage you to read our service level agreements before signing. You want to make sure the agreement resonates and prioritizes your business needs.

Choose an Ideal DRaaS Delivery Model

Depending on your needs and preferences, a financial institution DRaaS provider may handle your disaster recovery planning wholly or partially. There are three types of DRaaS delivery models you should consider.

  • Managed disaster recovery 

If you lack the experience, resources, or time to create and implement disaster recovery plans for your financial services, a managed disaster recovery might be ideal. With this delivery model, the DRaaS provider takes full responsibility for planning and executing disaster recovery plans.

However, if you prefer the managed disaster recovery model, staying in touch with the DRaaS provider is essential to be informed of all infrastructures, applications, and changes.

  • Assisted disaster as a service

The assisted disaster recovery model allows you to implement some if not all the procedures in a disaster recovery plan. The work of the DRaaS provider is to optimize the processes in the plan and deliver it to you.

Assisted DRaaS works for you if you prefer keeping the responsibility of some of your recovery plans. Additionally, it’s an excellent model for businesses with unique or customized applications that may prove challenging for the DRaaS provider. 

Most financial service providers opt for assisted disaster as a service due to the complexity of their systems.

  • Self-service disaster as a service

This is the best option if your budget is tight, but your business still needs a disaster recovery plan. In this model, you’re responsible for all disaster recovery plan procedures, including planning, testing, and management. In addition, you’ll need to build an on-site environment to host your infrastructure backup.

However, this delivery model is only suitable if your business has staff with the right skills and expertise.

Save Money With an Experienced DRaaS Provider

The goal of every business is to minimize expenditure while maximizing revenue. However, purchasing, setting up, and maintaining equipment and resources for an on-site environment is expensive. 

You also need to hire experienced IT staff who can create and implement disaster recovery plans. The worst part is that the disaster fails to occur after spending all these.

We have two delivery models for our DRaaS. And the best part is that you only pay when you need help. Ideally, it’s affordable to work with a DRaaS provider rather than building and managing an on-site environment for IT and data backups.

Let Rojan Backup Your Data And IT Infrastructure

Being a financial service provider, you have a lot to deal with to satisfy your customers. As a result, you don’t have adequate time to research, test, and implement a disaster recovery burden. We have all the time to take care of your business’s disaster recovery plan. Our experts will help you create and implement a plan to prevent data loss.

Additionally, we offer DRaaS along with a cloud backup solution. We will back up your business data and servers in our secure private location.

Understanding Disaster Recovery as a Service

A disaster recovery provider is simply a Cloud computing service model. It allows companies to back their data and IT infrastructure in a third-party Cloud computing environment. In addition, the third party provides orchestration through a software as a service solution (SaaS) where lest a disaster occurs, the company gets assistance reclaiming access and functionality of IT infrastructure. The model has gained popularity recently due to an organization not needing to invest in on-site resources, i.e., hardware, software, IT personnel; instead, they rely on a DRaaS provider.

An efficient plan is a vital business continuity tool every organization should have. Organizations are now more prone to wreak havoc on their IT departments brought by catastrophes more than ever before. Some of the events that are likely to hit an organization IT department include:

  • Power outages
  • Cybersecurity attacks
  • Equipment failure
  • Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires, etc.

How Does It Work?

It works by cloning and hosting an organization’s servers in facilities operated by third-party vendors compared to hosting them in the organization’s physical location. Execution of a plan also occurs at the third-party’s facilities in the event of prospected disasters shutting down a customer’s site and operations. DRaaS is accessible conventionally through a subscription model or the most recent pay-per-use model where an organization only pays when hit by a catastrophe. Before employing, an organization ought to evaluate their potential in service delivery based on their budget and unique need since solutions vary in cost and scope.

Traditionally, organizations owned off-site environments. Provisioning and maintenance of an off-site environment are not only time-consuming but also cost-ineffective. Employing a DRaaS providers saves a lot of money and eliminates the need for an off-site disaster recovery environment. Before choosing a suitable provider, an organization must evaluate and understand service level agreements. An agreement outlines the recovery time–how long it will take to spin up the servers and revamp for normal business operations. Critical issues such as an event of a regional disaster form part of the clauses of an agreement. Before signing an agreement, read through to ensure that it makes sense and prioritizes your needs as a client.

Types of models

An organization may choose to hand over the planning to a DRaaS provider either as a whole or in part. The organization will shop for a suitable provider who provides different DRaaS delivery modes. The three main modes of delivery are managed DRaaS, assisted, and self-service.

  1. Managed Disaster Recovery

In a managed DRaaS delivery model, the responsibility lies with a third party as a whole. Organizations that prefer the managed DRaaS model must stay in touch with their providers to ensure that they are up to date on all applications, infrastructures, and changes. If your business lacks the expertise, time, and resources to roll out an effective plan, a managed disaster model sums up as the best option.

  1. Assisted Disaster as a Service

In an assisted model, the client is responsible for implementing some if not all the procedures in a plan. The disaster as a service provider only delivers the plan by optimizing procedures. Assisted DRaaS works best for organizations that prefer maintaining the responsibility of some of their recovery plans. Also, if you have customized or unique applications that might pose challenges for the third party to take over, assisted recovery delivery model sums up as the most suitable option.

  1. Self-service Disaster as a Service

This is the cheapest of the three models. In a self-service DRaaS, the organization is responsible for rolling out all the plan procedures. The client is responsible for planning, testing, and management of a plan. The organization builds an off-site environment where it hosts its infrastructure backup in virtual machines. Careful, comprehensive planning and testing are essential to ensure that processing can instantly fail over to the virtual servers in the event of a disaster. If you have employed staff with the skills and expertise to roll out a plan, a self-service DRaaS sums up as the best option.

Why Should You Work with Disaster Recovery As A Service Provider?

  1. Many businesses lack the luxury of time required for researching, testing, and fully implementing a plan. Providers take the burden of planning off the organization and rest it with experts hence optimum delivery.
  2. Imagine pumping money in all the required equipment and resources for an off-site environment with not one or two stand-by IT staff, and an event never happens. This would signify that costly second infrastructure and staff will be unutilized. The service level agreements between the organization and the disaster as a service providers outline the mode of payment which could either be on a subscription or pay-per-use. Both models require payment to be made but only when the organization needs help. Hence, it is more affordable to employ a provider in contrast with building your own environment.

Recovery works hand in hand with cloud backup. At Rojan, we offer DRaaS in addition to a cloud backup solution for businesses.
