Disaster Recovery as a Service
– your plan B in an emergency

Managed Disaster Recovery gives you peace of mind
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) combines the best of cloud computing and expert support for continuous systems-uptime.

Great DRaaS providers.

Secure DRaaS Vendors

Imagine the impact a natural disaster could have on your business. Floods, fires or freak weather conditions could easily cause your server interruption and bring your site down. Add man to the mix, we’re only human after all, and there’s greater room for error. And the potential to lose your customer data.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) replicates the hosting of your servers (virtually or physically) to prevent digital downtime and minimise disruption in a catastrophe. With Kalamazoo IT you’re guaranteed peace of mind. As a DRaaS provider and vendor we replicate your on-premise systems to keep you connected whatever the cyber climate.

Three reasons your business needs a trusted DRaaS company:

  • We all face a growing need for systems-uptime. Customers, suppliers, partners and regulators alike expect and demand it.
  • Extended downtime is no longer a minor embarrassment – it can significantly damage your reputation and translates directly to lost revenue.
  • Disaster Recovery as a Service makes this a thing of the past.
