#3: Couple DRaaS with Data Protection
Cloud is an ideal place for long-term data retention.
• Isolated from production data
• Remote from ransomware
• Lower cost of storage
Most hyperscale storage clouds require data to be moved to a spin-up cloud prior to DRaaS.
Look for a provider that dual-purposes data:
• Kept warm for quick DRaaS recovery
• Archived for contracted retention period

#4 – Pay for only what you use
Storage and recovery services can get quite expensive.
Watch out for hidden fees!
Look for tiered pricing that allows contracting for just the
volumes you require for the mandated length of time.
Choose a provider that offers different DRaaS services for
different classes of applications.
