11 Recommendation Criteria Recommendations Identify which DRaaS providers' road maps and capabilities most closely align with your organization's short- and longerterm recovery requirements. When performing DRaaS due diligence, emphasize a vendor's ability to provide a complete solution, support for a variety of VM types, heterogeneous storage controller replication, complementary data backup and archival services, flexible recovery testing policies, proven data privacy management controls. Investigate low-risk opportunities to augment recovery capabilities with DRaaS for a lower recovery tier application or set of applications. Assess the management trade-offs and potential cost savings of alternative providers. Compare these with the recovery infrastructure and management processes you have in place. 11
