The conventional formula for maintaining business continuity in the face of unexpected IT disruptions is as follows: Back up your data. Make a recovery plan. Test the recovery plan periodically. That approach may work well enough if your primary concern is defending against risks like server failures or data centre outages caused by natural disasters. But in the present age of widespread ransomware attacks, conventional backup and recovery planning aren't always enough.

All Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) providers do the same basic thing: They manage the recovery of data and applications following an outage or cyberattack. The growing frequency of cyber-attacks highlights the importance of these services. Cloudflare, for example, mitigated $6.9 million DDoS attacks in Q4 2024, a 16% increase quarter-over-quarter and an 83% rise year-over-year.

Disasters such as cyberattacks, hardware failures, and natural calamities can easily derail your small or mid-sized business operations. The shield between a company and these types of threats is having a solid disaster recovery (DR) plan. As outlined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of the U.S., about 25% of small businesses never recover from a great disaster. This heightens the stakes considerably. Thankfully, innovative technology is revamping disaster recovery by offering quicker, more intelligent, and economical ways to protect an enterprise.

11:11 Systems named an Aspiring Provider in the 2024 Gartner Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) report. This marks the second consecutive year that 11:11 has been included.
