There is always a new host of roadblocks and setbacks that your business may face. What you should, however, want to achieve is a certain level of business continuity that allows systems to remain in place, online, and running no matter what occurs.

**What is a Disaster Recovery Plan?**

Disaster recovery is an organization’s method of regaining access and functionality to its IT infrastructure after a catastrophic event takes place. Dependent on the type of business, a variety of solutions can be included as part of a Disaster Recovery plan.

Disaster Recovery plans are typically part of a more extensive initiative which is commonly known as Business Continuity Planning (BCP). After a thorough review of business processes, procedures, and planning, a Disaster Recovery plan should be well rehearsed with everyone in the organization knowing their role in the process.

**Why is Having a Disaster Recovery Plan Important?**

Just as your business maintains a future growth plan, you should be prepared for a disaster too. Disaster Recovery is different depending on the industry you work in, but across all industries, the reasons for a DRaaS system remain the same.

Businesses with smaller IT teams may not be able to afford to implement and test your Disaster Recovery solution. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) takes that burden off your back and puts it into the hands of our team of experts in Disaster Recovery.

Companies worldwide need a Disaster Recovery solution for the following reasons:

1. They are dependent on technology to keep their businesses open.
2. Owners/Partners don’t want one disaster to put them out of business for good.
3. Business owners are worried that inadequate IT security protocols may put them in a dangerous situation.
4. A disaster plan is required for their industry to comply with government regulatory mandates.

**How Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) Works**

DRaaS works through the replication onto and hosting of servers inside a third-party vendor’s facility as opposed to on-site at the physical location of the business. Should a disaster shut down the business site, the third-party Disaster Recovery plan will be put into action.

A business purchases its DRaaS solution through a monthly subscription-based model. According to your needs and budget, we can help you to choose the proper service model.

**Benefits of Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)**

A DRaaS solution represents the next generation of quick system data recovery and always‐on availability, helping your business avoid downtime and disruption at a lower cost. The affordability and simplicity of Disaster Recovery as a Service make it a great solution for SMBs.

With the proper Disaster Recovery solution in place, you will have the ability to restore systems, services, and applications in a shorter amount of time, and get significantly reduced restoration times that would otherwise be impossible without a Disaster Recovery solution in place.

Small businesses previously unsure about implementing DRaaS solutions can now enjoy the capabilities that were once only reserved for larger enterprises.

A properly functioning and executed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution will end up saving you money by eliminating the need to set up your own off-site Disaster Recovery site and giving you access to the expert-level support you need. Limit losses, minimize interruption, and ensure complete restoration of data with a Disaster Recovery solution from KT Connections.
