In today's digital landscape, organizations face an array of challenges that threaten business continuity. Cybersecurity incidents, climate-related disasters, and human errors can lead to significant data loss and operational downtime. For businesses leveraging cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), implementing a robust Disaster Recovery strategy is essential to safeguard critical assets and ensure resilience.
The Importance of Disaster Recovery in Business Continuity Planning
Disaster Recovery (DR) is a critical element of any complete business continuity strategy. As data threats, such as ransomware attacks and natural disasters, become more common, off-premises and cloud-based DR solutions are now a necessary tool for AWS users. Based on a recent survey by Wanclouds in partnership with AWS Community Builders, a third of AWS users lost data as a result of downtime incidents over the last year. This figure highlights the urgent necessity for adequate backup solutions to secure Cloud-native applications on AWS.
Traditional DR approaches are not as adaptable and expandable as needed in today's hybrid and public Cloud infrastructures. Companies require solutions that provide ongoing data protection without involving significant expenses or complexity.
Wanclouds' Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) for AWS
By providing On-demand Cloud Backups and quick recovery, Wanclouds VPC+ DRaaS boosts AWS business continuity plans. This solution enables end-to-end protection of a company's complete Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) assets, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) deployments, and other information.
Key Features of Wanclouds VPC+ DRaaS:
- Comprehensive Backup: Safeguard your entire VPC configuration, including subnets, security groups, route tables, load balancers, and EKS clusters.
- Immutable Storage: Backups are stored as immutable objects in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets, providing robust protection against ransomware attacks.
- On-Demand Restoration: Quickly restore or replicate your infrastructure across different AWS regions or accounts as needed.
- Hybrid Cloud Support: Extend backup capabilities to on-premises or edge Red Hat OpenShift clusters, with the flexibility to restore them to AWS or other environments.
By leveraging Wanclouds VPC+ DRaaS, AWS users can improve their recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO), moving away from complex and costly traditional DR methods. This is particularly crucial, considering that 62% of AWS experts indicate their organizations cannot afford even a minute of downtime following a data loss event. citeturn0search0
