What is DRaaS?
DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) is a service that provides data and system backup and recovery through a cloud provider. Unlike traditional backup solutions, which only copy data, DRaaS also ensures that all essential systems and applications can be quickly restored and operational in the event of a disaster.
Why should your business have a DRaaS solution?
The Growing Risks for Businesses
The increasing threat of sensitive data theft by cybercriminals, along with the risk of data loss due to ransomware attacks, system failures, or natural disasters, has made information security and business continuity a top priority for organisations worldwide.
Advanced Cloud Protection
In this context, cloud storage platforms play a crucial role by enabling real-time data replication strategies. As a result, they have evolved significantly and now offer advanced protection measures, such as data encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, and granular access controls.
Instant Recovery = Immediate Availability
Critical systems replicated in the cloud enable synchronised backups across multiple geographic locations, which can be activated instantly (or within minutes), allowing employees to continue working as if they were using the original servers.
Monthly Subscription Model
A traditional recovery infrastructure requires the purchase of duplicate hardware, whereas DRaaS operates on a monthly subscription model. This means businesses only pay for the service, eliminating the need to invest in equipment that might remain idle for most of the time.
Adaptable to Every Business Size
DRaaS is characterised by its scalability, meaning it can be tailored to any business, regardless of its size or specific requirements. As a cloud provider, this allows us to offer an efficient response as your company grows or faces new challenges.
Whether you run a small business with local operations or a large global corporation, DRaaS scales effortlessly to provide the right level of support and protection.
Extensive Geographic Flexibility
DRaaS stores data in multiple regions to enhance resilience. For example, if your physical systems are located in Barcelona, their cloud-based replicas can be stored in Madrid. This ensures that your business can continue operating without interruptions, regardless of the location of the disruptive event. At Adam, we provide DRaaS services in both Madrid and Barcelona.

The Real-Time Data Replication Market Is Growing
According to Business Research Insights, the real-time data replication market is expected to experience significant growth by 2029, driven by the increasing adoption of technologies such as hybrid cloud.
These solutions allow organisations to combine the benefits of both public and private environments, achieving greater flexibility and security. In the context of DRaaS, this trend is crucial, as it ensures fast and reliable data replication, minimising downtime and enhancing responsiveness to critical incidents.
Businesses across all industries are investing in tools that protect their operations and ensure continuity, recognising their value in the market.
DRaaS: A Guarantee for Your Business
DRaaS is not just a technological tool—it is a guarantee of continuity and resilience in a world where risks are inevitable. Ensuring that your critical systems remain operational within minutes is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity for any business that values its security and future.
