What is Disaster Recovery Testing?

This is a process of verifying the success of the restoration procedures that are executed after a critical IT failure or disruption occurs. This could include the following testing;
What happens to the workload if some of the infrastructure for whatever reason becomes unavailable?
How long does it take to recover data if a corruption or data loss occurs?
How does the application cope if part of the network goes down?

This type of testing is sometimes carried out in conjunction with Load Testing. Disaster Recovery Testing is much more realistic if the tests are carried out while the application is busy servicing a user workload.

This post is accurate. One of the most important things for a business, is data continuation.
When things crush - continue as if nothing happened - with your back up cloud.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) to the Cloud solves the problem of downtime without the on-going high costs typically associated with disaster recovery.
