Highlighting the significance of achieving uninterrupted IT operations to support critical business objectives such as maintaining regulatory compliance, MarketsandMarkets’ Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) Global Forecast is projected to grow to approximately $12 billion (USD) by 2020 with a 53 percent CAGR.
Further evidencing the importance of business continuity, DACH region survey respondents from Business Continuity Institute’s 2014 Horizon Scan noted increased concern over unplanned IT or telecommunications outages, and security issues such as cyber-attacks and data breaches impacting critical business functions. Within this same survey it was noted that only 18 percent of IT budgets are increasing to address these issues, stressing the importance of maximizing vital IT investments.
