However, the growth is creating confusion on how DRaaS differs from bare metal recovery (BMR) in the enterprise, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/The Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) market is growing exponentially and predicted to hit $20 billion by 2020. However, the growth is creating confusion on how DRaaS differs from bare metal recovery (BMR) in the enterprise, according to Infrascale. So let\u2019s dive into both terms a bit more. BMR allows a user to backup a physical server disk image is in its entirety, Infrascale reported. That capability enables the user to restore an entire system, including the operating system and its settings, files, folders, apps and more. With BMR, re-installing everything from scratch becomes unnecessary. DRaaS is essentially the same, except the service offers more: including the ability to run that system in a virtual environment during a catastrophe. DRaaS enables a user to boot a protected server or site in seconds. Infrascale also provided the following key differences between the two terms: Speed The largest difference between the two is the amount of time it takes to get up and running is a server crashes. With BMR, users have to restore the image to a server and then boot the system; that could take hours. On the other hand, with DRaaS, the system morphs into a virtual machine and can be booted right away. Scale When it comes to BMR, the number of servers you have is directly related to the amount of time it will take to become fully functional again. This can take considerable time and is not terribly scalable if you have lots of large servers. With DRaaS, you can boot all of your systems in parallel, especially if you are using an elastic cloud infrastructure, and be up and &quot;This can take considerable time and is not terribly scalable if you have lots of large servers,&quot; according to Infrascale&#039;s VP of Marketing Dean Nicolls. However, with a DRaaS tool implemented, users can boot all systems simultaneously and be up and running within minutes. This is especially true for those with an elastic cloud infrastructure. &quot;You will still have to consider the orchestration of what needs to be booted first and in what order,&quot; Nicolls said. Solve Different Downtime Goals Both BMR and DRaaS have different goals: BMR is primarily used to recover a system that is meant to be used in production, but DRaaS is utilized to get you back up and running as quickly as possible and restoring systems for production are secondary priorities. The goal of bare metal restore is to recover a system for production use. It does not presume urgency or an emergency situation. DRaaS is about getting you up and running as fast as possible first, and then restoring your systems for production use when the emergency is over. \u201cWhile Bare Metal Recovery is important in your overall data protection planning, it is not a suitable replacement for on-demand failover. With DraaS, you can now deliver fast recovery times \u2013usually measured in seconds to minutes \u2014 for the cost of traditional backup,\u201d Nicolls said.
