Back to Basics and this Matters: Why Should You Invest in a DR Strategy from the Very Beginning?
Prevent Complete data loss
Data is very important to enterprises and loss of data can cause irreparable damage to the organization. Usually, enterprises lose data due to various reasons, such as security breach, natural disaster, or human error. No enterprise is fully protected from disasters. At any point of time, loss of data due to an unplanned outage can cost thousands or even millions of dollars, from which enterprises may never even recover.
Bid Adieu to Business Interruption
Business interruption is never a good thing for any business. In fact, when businesses do not work, it means they are losing out on both revenue and employee productivity. Enterprises usually do not have the right equipment needed to resume business as usual. Without proper disaster recovery (DR), enterprises lack a smooth transition between the cohesive business units to get back on track and continue operations.
Embrace Highly Reduced Downtime
As part of the Cloud4C Oracle DR, enterprises will be able to run off the cloud or retrieve critical application data and systems from anywhere. With Cloud4C disaster recovery, enterprises can reduce downtime and data loss exposure for critical business functions. Through Cloud4C Oracle DR, we provide high-end capabilities which analyse the readiness to eliminate downtime. We at Cloud4C by building a disaster recovery solution on Oracle Cloud offer enterprises with zero downtime, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Process Objective (RPO) with single SLA.
Protect Mission-Critical Applications
For every enterprise safeguarding their mission-critical applications is of utmost importance. With Cloud4C Oracle DR, enterprises can take advantage of the high security and compliance requirements regarding the cryptographic algorithms, key management & data encryption. As part of the Oracle DR, we provide security controls, visibility to log data and security analytics. As a trusted partner, Cloud4C safeguards key business operations and mission-critical applications while minimizing interruption of critical processes.
Embrace and Encourage Cost-effectiveness
As part of the Cloud4C Oracle DR, enterprises can take advantage of the pay-as-you-go model. This way, enterprises can align the cost depending on the organization’s IT disaster recovery needs. With Cloud4C Oracle DR, enterprises can shift the costs from capital expense to operational expense. As part of the Cloud4C Oracle DR, enterprises can run fractional footprints of their on-premise workloads in the Oracle Cloud, which can be scaled up to full capacity whenever needed.

Oracle Disaster Recovery - FAQs
-
What is Disaster Recovery?
-
Disaster Recovery plays a crucial role in any enterprise’s journey. It is a way of reattaining access and functionality of the IT infrastructure after events like a natural disaster, cyber attack, or a business disruption.
Usually, enterprises invest in disaster recovery to enhance business continuity. It helps enterprises reduce operational costs and increase flexibility.
-
What is the difference between backup and Disaster Recovery?
-
The process of making an extra copy or multiple copies of data to protect it is called backup. This is essential to restore data in case you encounter incidents such as accidental deletion, database corruption or an issue with a software upgrade. For these reasons, organizations invest in backup solutions.
On the other hand, Disaster Recovery refers to policies, tools and procedures for quickly reestablishing access to applications, data, and IT resources to protect an enterprise in the aftermath of natural or man-made disaster. That plan might involve switching over to a redundant set of servers and storage systems until your primary data center is functional again. The end goal of DR is to maintain vital functions and operations with minimum downtime possible.
-
Why should we move DR strategies to the Cloud?
-
Articulating on-prem DR strategies gnaw away a lot of extra capital investments in terms of setting up alternate server zones, datacenter landscapes, and more.
With workloads and databases safely backed up on the cloud and replicated across its multiple landing zones, one can enjoy uninterrupted availability irrespective of technical or natural disasters. In addition, enterprises can leverage the cloud’s steady native solutions suite for advanced data management, visibility, security and monitoring, governance, and compliance. Embrace true operations anywhere, anytime while being on the cloud.
