As part of an ESG survey of 391 IT professionals responsible for data protection technology decisions at midmarket (100 to 999 employees) and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations in North America, respondents were asked about disaster recovery strategies. One of the most interesting BC/DR alternatives in the market today is disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS), whereby production resources fail over to cloud-based resources.
