Disaster Recovery has never been easier and surer. Use Crimson’s ‘On the Cloud’ DR as a Service. Near zero RTO and RPO. No investments in identical hardware. Easy to implement solution. Always available DR.
The Cloud has drastically changed how IT functions in several domains. Disaster Recovery on the Cloud has evolved to become a quick and reliable implementation. Traditional DR calls for heavy investments in identical hardware, administration and maintenance of remote hot or cold sites with its attendant infrastructure, administrative and people costs.
