Additional benefits of cloud DR include geographic proximity control and the ability to easily and economically extend protection to apps that otherwise are protected by tape backup or unprotected due to the cost of traditional solutions. Cloud DR for physical and virtualized applications can reduce costs by as much as 75% while increasing agility.
