Summary

SaaS Recovery refers to two distinct but related concepts in the technology sector: the financial rebound of the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry and the technical implementation of Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). In a financial context, as discussed by David Sacks on the All-In Podcast, SaaS Recovery marks the end of the 'SaaS Recession,' characterized by re-accelerating growth in major cloud infrastructure providers like AWS and Google Cloud, as well as enterprise software leaders like Atlassian. Technically, 'Recovery as a Service' (RaaS) is a cloud computing category designed to protect applications and data from disruptions by providing on-demand standby computing capacity. Unlike traditional backup, RaaS ensures rapid application recovery with a 'pay-as-you-go' model, making it more cost-effective than maintaining permanent 'hot sites' or 'warm sites.'

Recovery as a service

Recovery as a service (RaaS), sometimes referred to as disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), is a category of cloud computing used for protecting an application or data from a natural or human disaster or service disruption at one location by enabling a full recovery in the cloud. RaaS differs from cloud-based backup services by protecting data and providing standby computing capacity on demand to facilitate more rapid application recovery. RaaS capacity is delivered in a cloud-computing model so recovery resources are only paid for when they are used, making it more efficient than a traditional disaster recovery warm site or hot site where the recovery resources must be running at all times. The term "recovery as a service" (RaaS) is considered to be part of the nomenclature of cloud computing, along with infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

    Cloud disaster recovery (DR) involves storing and maintaining backups of computing resources on a cloud platform instead of relying on self-managed infrastructure. The cloud’s elasticity ensures that resources can adjust according to the needs of an organization, providing scalable and efficient recovery solutions comparable to traditional hardware-based methods. Cloud DR also supports “pay-as-you-go” pricing, ensuring organizations only pay for resources when they are needed, such as backup storage, testing, or actual disaster recovery. Multi-cloud support allows organizations to distribute disaster recovery workloads across multiple cloud providers, enhancing resilience and preventing vendor lock-in. * **Limited customer support on weekends:** Users have reported dissatisfaction with the lack of support during weekends, a critical period for many organizations performing disaster recovery (DR) tests or backups.
