This is why disaster recovery (DR) remains at the top of the list when it comes to cloud-computing management strategies in 2020. From a deleted file or system failure to any kind of unforeseen event, data restoration and infrastructure recovery may be the single biggest risk factor to your organization’s survival – and success – should the unthinkable happen. From the flexibility and scalability of multiple and [hybrid-cloud operations](https://protelligent.net/it/7-reasons-hybrid-cloud-adoption-makes-sense-for-smbs/) to more traditional on-premises environments, businesses must be able to continuously replicate, encrypt and store data away from their main systems. Fast and effective restoration and recovery helps prevent data loss and theft, as well as downtime to strengthen compliance. Here are 4 other distinct benefits of DR that do more than provide a competitive advantage. 1. 1. **Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)** 1. 1. **Minimal recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO)** 1. 1. **Non-disruptive** 1. 1. **Any Application from Any Source** True business continuity hinges on a strong disaster-recovery plan that enables your organization to properly manage its entire data lifecycle, regardless of your environment type. DR in the cloud is more flexible and scalable, but most importantly, faster and more effective.
