Disaster Recovery refers to the process, policies, and procedures of restoring operations critical to an organization after a natural or man-made disaster. The goal is to minimize downtime and data loss, ensuring that the business can continue or quickly resume its operations.
For example, if a company's data center is affected by a hurricane, a robust disaster recovery plan would involve restoring data and systems at an alternative location, possibly using backup servers or cloud-based services.
In the context of cloud computing, services like Tencent Cloud offer disaster recovery solutions. Tencent Cloud's Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) helps enterprises quickly recover applications and data in the event of a disaster, ensuring business continuity. It provides features such as automated failover, data synchronization, and flexible recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs).
