It’s no secret that cloud adoption is important for government agencies. Looking to modernize legacy IT infrastructure to improve services for citizens and capitalize on cloud cost savings, many federal, state, and local agencies have instituted a cloud-first policy.However, like the private sector they are facing similar challenges: security, compliance, data growth, reduced IT budgets, and limited IT resources. In the age of cyber terrorism, information has become a central asset and it’s forcing government agencies to review their disaster recovery (DR) capabilities. Ensuring their agencies can bring systems and applications online is mission critical.By adopting a fully cloud-backed DR solution that offers various cloud deployments, government agencies can achieve near-zero downtime at an affordable price point.
