In a recent business continuity industry news article “SMBs and DR: A Nightmare on Main Street” featured in Disaster Recovery Journal, a Cloud IBR expert explores why small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) need practical, cost-effective disaster recovery (DR) solutions. Traditional DR plans are often resource-intensive, creating a gap that BRaaS aims to fill as a new market category, bringing ‘DR light’ to SMBs. BRaaS, working with Veeam BaaS, Wasabi or Backblaze object storage and providing the continuity of DRaaS without the complexity or cost, offers streamlined backup recovery that’s more accessible, yet essential to protecting against data loss and minimizing downtime. Essentially, DR for the masses.
Key Takeaways:
- SMB Risks: Limited resources heighten data loss and downtime risks
- Downtime Costs: Even brief outages can be costly
- BRaaS: A streamlined, affordable DR solution for SMBs
