Plans and processes to restore technology systems after catastrophic events like fires, floods, or cyberattacks. Like having an emergency evacuation plan for your digital business.
When a hurricane destroyed their main data center, the company used their disaster recovery plan to switch operations to a backup location within hours.
All four offerings help you recover workloads after an outage by replicating data and/or orchestrating failover to a secondary site or region. AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery and Azure Site Recovery focus on continuous replication and automated failover for servers. Google Cloud Backup and DR Service provides centralized backup plus DR orchestration. OCI Disaster Recovery provides DR planning and orchestration for OCI resources (often paired with replication services for data).
