Calamity let it be natural or man-made can happen anytime anyplace &amp; thus, it can have a massive impact on the valuable assets of the organization. Data can be lost to technical failures, disasters, outages etc. protecting business applications against these disasters is an organization\u2019s top priority. But it is very difficult for every enterprise to have their own DR sites. Managing, maintaining and monitoring In-house DR site is very difficult as it requires lot of CAPEX and man-power.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hereby I will try and elaborate certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/disaster-recovery-hosting\"><strong>DR<\/strong> <\/a>issues faced by every organization irrelevant to small or large<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_DR_Issues\"><\/span><strong>Current DR Issues:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Planning for the worst case scenario is a must in today\u2019s competitive market.

Though, around 95% of failures are due to reasons unrelated to natural disasters. Even a single hour in downtime can hamper an organization (large or small) comprehensively. The financial implication can be from 7k to 8k for a small company and 70k to 80k for a large organization. But financial losses are just the beginning the actual nightmare begins when the harmful mix of lost profitability, unrecoverable back-up resources, and lost customer loyalty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If a company has been through a natural disaster and had a catastrophic data loss of its financial assets, customer information &amp; on-site critical documents the odds of its sustainability is only 40% while there is 60% chance that it will not survive in a long term. However, it is also advisable to have a plan of action after a natural disaster for business continuity even if the data in temporarily unavailable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to a survey on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esds.co.in\/disaster-recovery-hosting\"><strong> DRaaS<\/strong><\/a> requirements by Centre technologies.
