3 Types of DRaaS, Which Is Right for Your Business?
You might decide that you want to implement Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) in your company, but is there an option for you? But it all depends on your budget, as well as the time you can allocate for "oversight" and "testing".
You who want to be completely free, can choose Managed DRaaS, where everything is done for you. Or Assisted DRaaS - not offered by all providers - where they have experts who will provide assistance only when needed. And if you have internal expertise and bandwidth, DRaaS self-service allows you to create your own strategy.
For more details, let's discuss one by one.
Assisted DRaaS service providers can add value by providing consultation and advice on how to optimize disaster recovery procedures. They often have a team of experts that you can count on when you need help.
Perhaps the most interesting benefit of Assisted DRaaS is that this approach allows customers to identify their DR weaknesses and then pay DRaaS service providers to deal specifically with those services.
Managed DRaaS providers can offer "platform-agnostic technology" that provides failover for physical or virtual hardware in customer datacenter on-premise or in various cloud providers
All DR actually have the same goal, because people never know exactly when a disaster will strike. However, when you are required to choose a DR service, it is important to consider the needs and capabilities of your business, because there is no solution that has one measure for all needs.

DRaaS Self-Service
DRaaS self-service will be suitable for companies that have qualified internal experts and management capabilities who are ready to plan, deploy, and execute all DRaaS strategies. This approach requires customers to have a thorough understanding of the IT area, applications and services themselves.Assisted DRaaS
The benefits of Assisted DRaaS are almost the same as the benefits of Manged DRaaS. You can still take advantage of provider expertise, and administrative burdens to manage solutions at a lower cost than traditional DRaaS.Assisted DRaaS service providers can add value by providing consultation and advice on how to optimize disaster recovery procedures.

Managed DRaaS
With Managed DRaaS, a company can free itself from almost all of its DR responsibilities to outsiders. The burden of protecting infrastructure resources, including cloud and on-premise, as well as DR testing, validation and operations, will shift from customers to service providers.Managed DRaaS providers can offer "platform-agnostic technology" that provides failover for physical or virtual hardware in customer datacenter on-premise or in various cloud providers
