Disaster Recovery as-a-Service
Business
Need for Business Continuity
Provide business continuity and a validated disaster recovery plan to the university amidst unprecedented budget challenges as a result of COVID-19. Need for a cost-effective service, not just a Disaster Recovery (DR) solution as internal resources are scarce. Business expressed that their PeopleSoft infrastructure (HCM, FSCM, CS) are among some of the most important applications in their campus portfolio, and in the event of a disaster, they would be unable to continue operation without the support of the functions provided by this software. At the same time, classical DR solutions have been cost-prohibitive, difficult to maintain, and doubtful as to whether they would truly perform in the event of real need.
