Businesses are using the AWS Cloud to enable faster disaster recovery of their critical IT systems without incurring the infrastructure expense of a second physical site. The AWS Cloud supports many popular disaster recovery (DR) architectures from “pilot light” environments that are ready to scale up at a moment’s notice to “hot standby” environments that enable rapid failover. With data centers in eight Regions around the world, AWS provides a set of Cloud-based services that enable rapid recovery of your IT infrastructure and data.
