Disaster recovery (DR) involves the intersection of business requirements and technical challenges. At the heart of DR is defining minimally required business resources and overcoming technical challenges to deliver them all the time, no matter what. Scoping DR capabilities on the cloud for onsite resources means understanding service margins for availability. The technology can encompass continuous data replication, machine or application backups, and data source synchronisation. DR solutions enable customers to recover from a situation where assets critical to their business operations are inaccessible. Rackspace Technology solutions utilise Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable recovery strategies focused on recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) requirements.
