Disaster Recovery as a Service Market, 2022: Frost Radar™ Report

A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation that Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) is a vital service for enterprises, especially because of the increase in cyber threats (particularly ransomware), as they seek simple-to-deploy services that allow them to easily recover data without paying ransom to cyber criminals.

The DRaaS market has matured since its inception in 2014, yet it is still changing and growing each year. Merger and acquisition activity has increased in the last three years as companies in adjacent spaces seek to provide a more comprehensive suite of security and data management/protection services to customers and therefore acquire DRaaS companies or technologies rather than reinvent the wheel.

Several market leaders, including Carbonite, iLand, and Sungard Availability Services, have been acquired during this time frame.

This Frost Radar™ only covers providers that offer a stand-alone DRaaS service rather than technology platform providers that only offer a platform but do not offer a replication environment. The broader DRaaS ecosystem includes smaller MSPs that do not or cannot provide widespread protection across a variety of infrastructures, including on-premises servers and public, private, and bare-metal cloud. Providers were chosen for this Frost Radar™ based on their breadth of support for a variety of infrastructures in addition to their innovation execution and growth capabilities.
