DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) - disaster readiness without extra costs
25.06.2025
No one is immune to disasters — whether it’s equipment failure, a cyberattack, or a natural disaster. Losing access to data and halting critical business processes can not only erase months of work but also deal a serious blow to a company’s reputation. In the past, full-scale disaster recovery solutions were only available to large corporations with their own data centers. Today, the situation has changed thanks to DRaaS — Disaster Recovery as a Service.
The essence of DRaaS is remote backup of infrastructure and the ability to quickly switch to a backup platform in case of a major incident. This means that when serious issues arise, a company can continue operating with minimal losses, without losing data or spending hours (or days) on recovery. Most importantly, this resilience is achieved without investing in expensive in-house systems.
“DRaaS has become more than just insurance for our clients — it’s now a part of strategic planning. Many come to us not after a disaster, but before — they want to be sure they can get through any crisis in working mode,” said Daulet Aubakirov, Director of Cloud Solutions, in a recent interview.
This reflects a key trend: more and more organizations are realizing that recovery from disruptions is not a technical issue, but a matter of business continuity.
What’s especially important is that modern DRaaS solutions don’t require a radical overhaul of existing IT infrastructure. They scale easily, integrate with most popular platforms, and follow a pay-as-you-go model. This makes them particularly attractive for mid-sized businesses that need protection but don’t have the resources of large enterprises.
By implementing DRaaS, businesses gain more than just a technical service — they gain confidence. Confidence that even in an unpredictable world, they can maintain control over their digital core. And in an era when data is more valuable than oil, that kind of confidence is worth more than any investment.
