Which is right for my company?

Its Sunday morning 9 am. You start work but you can’t connect to any of your servers. Your IT checks the server and sees a message ‘Your data has been encrypted. To receive the decryption key send 10 bitcoins to this address’.

But what about this scenario: Last night the server room air-conditioner flooded and there is a catastrophic storage device failure which requires a full replacement. Your data is safe (hopefully). But you have no infrastructure available to restore it to.

In this case you really want to have Disaster Recovery or Disaster Recovery as a Service.

But which is best for you?
In this download we will look at the different scenarios and pro’s and cons.
