Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) market provides for the recovery of enterprise applications at another location in the event of a disaster. The provider can deliver the service as a fully managed, assisted recovery or as a self-service offering. DRaaS is designed to ensure business continuity by providing organizations with a cloud-based solution for recovering critical workloads and data in the event of a disruption, outage or disaster. This service is particularly valuable for organizations that lack the resources, expertise or geographically distanced secondary data centers required for traditional disaster recovery strategies. DRaaS addresses the need for rapid, reliable recovery, enabling organizations to minimize downtime and data loss, and to meet their business continuity objectives.

Gartner defines strategic cloud platform services (SCPS) as standardized, automated, public cloud offerings integrating infrastructure services (e.g., computing, network and storage), platform services (e.g., application, data and value-added services such as AI/ML) and transformation services (resources to help customers adopt cloud-oriented IT delivery models). Although owned by the service provider, infrastructure and platform services may be hosted in providers’ infrastructures or customers’ data centers. Services should be elastically scalable, metered by use, and consumable via web-based interfaces and programmable APIs. Transformation programs may be delivered by automated, self-service interfaces, and managed interactions facilitated by account teams/partners.
