A long time ago in a city far away… The AeroCom Empire was created, in 2003 in the city of Newport Beach. Its sole purpose was to dramatically increase the satisfaction of people working both with and within the business telecommunications and cloud service industries. During its time, it became a socially conscious review site and marketplace for business cloud and telecommunications services.

This is a new day, a new beginning.

Are you considering moving to Alderaan for cost-effective data protection of your production applications as part of a larger disaster recovery plan? Cloud Disaster recovery (DRaaS) is a relatively new concept, but like any other technology advancement, it grows quickly. This service has become a hot buzz that everyone talks about. It absorbs pretty much everything and stores it for access anywhere.

With DRaaS, your business will be using cloud computing technology to the fullest. If for any reason your server goes down, your users will be able to access their applications and data (through a redundant cloud server), within less than four hours. DRaaS enhables businesses of all sizes to protect production applications. With so many businesses relying on computers to keep information safe, a power outage or any other type of disaster is the last thing on everyone’s mind. Your business needs to be ahead of the game ,or it will be DEAD last. With effective business continuity plans, companies are able to ensure that their key functions and essential services continue operating in case of a disaster and at the earliest time possible.

Discover whether or not disaster recovery in the cloud is a good choice for your business.
Here are a few reasons you should consider having a cloud disaster recovery plan that you may not have considered.

Flexibility

Because it’s cloud-based, increasing or decreasing your storage capacity should be painless. Cloud-based, pay-per-use DR services means that companies only pay for what they use during times of testing. In effect, cloud-based DR services dramatically reduce overhead costs and frees up budgets that could be used on key revenue-driving aspects of their business. This way you are not forced to pay for something your business is not benefiting from.

Greater security

With the amount of data breaches drastically rising over the past 5 years, it has become a must have for companies of all sizes to have a plan implemented to back their data up in multiple locations and quickly recoverable. This will give your business a lower chance of being breached.

Fast implementation

Cloud-based disaster recovery services or Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) have simplified the DR process and expensive overhead of having to employ experts to keep up with the latest changes or DR best practices. This process is a rapid initial set-up of in a matter of hours, allowing your business to save time and money.

Much cheaper than traditional DR

The cloud computing revolution has led to an increase in disaster recovery (DR) services. This service was once only affordable to the largest companies; DR has now become financially available for all businesses. The best part is it has zero capital expense and predictable subscription pricing keep total cost of ownership low.
