Heterogeneous stacks, ransomware, and ITaaS: A DR nightmare
Briefly

Disaster recovery is increasingly challenging due to the diverse nature of IT infrastructures, including on-premises, public cloud, and IT-as-a-Service models. Ransomware has become the leading cause of system outages, outstripping traditional threats like floods or fires. To improve recovery chances, organizations should strive for a homogeneous IT environment with real-time synchronization and regular failover tests. While public cloud services can facilitate disaster recovery, reliance on a single provider poses risks. A multi-cloud strategy may mitigate these concerns, but firms must also evaluate their ITaaS partners' disaster recovery plans.
Disaster recovery is increasingly difficult as IT environments evolve, with ransomware being the primary threat, necessitating a standardized infrastructure for effective recovery.
Homogeneous IT systems provide a better chance for disaster recovery. It's crucial to have real-time replication and regular testing of failover procedures.
Engaging multiple public cloud providers can enhance disaster recovery; relying on a single provider for DR could expose organizations to major risks.
ITaaS complicates disaster recovery as responsibility shifts to external providers, making it critical to assess their DR capabilities and control.
