Disaster Recovery as a Service - 2 Hour Workshop

BrainScale’s DRaaS solution helps you measure the impact, establish comprehensive recovery objectives, and tests these metrics in a simulated environment. Our proven process and service frameworks ensure DR drills are performed with little to no downtime on production.
