What is Navisite DRaaS
Navisite DRaaS is a managed disaster recovery as a service offering designed to replicate and recover customer workloads in the event of an outage. It targets mid-market and enterprise IT teams that want outsourced DR planning, runbooks, and recovery operations for on-premises and hosted environments. The service is typically delivered as a managed engagement, with provider-operated monitoring, testing, and failover/failback procedures rather than a purely self-service tool.
Managed DR operations support
Navisite positions DRaaS as a managed service, which can reduce the operational burden on internal IT teams. This model commonly includes assistance with DR design, runbook creation, and coordinated recovery execution. For organizations that lack 24x7 DR staffing, a provider-led approach can be a practical fit compared with tools that assume customer-operated recovery.
Emphasis on DR testing
DRaaS engagements typically include scheduled testing and validation activities to confirm recoverability and procedures. This helps organizations move beyond backup-only approaches by exercising failover steps and documenting outcomes. Regular testing can also support audit and compliance evidence when DR controls must be demonstrated.
Service-led implementation model
Navisite commonly delivers DRaaS as a project plus ongoing service, which can accelerate initial setup for complex environments. Provider-led onboarding can help with dependency mapping, recovery sequencing, and aligning RTO/RPO targets to application tiers. This can be advantageous when compared with products that require customers to design and maintain most DR processes themselves.
Less self-service control
A managed DRaaS model can provide fewer self-service controls than platforms built for customer-operated orchestration. Changes to recovery plans, testing cadence, or configuration may require provider involvement and associated lead times. This can be limiting for teams that want rapid, frequent iteration of DR workflows.
Pricing depends on scope
DRaaS costs often vary based on protected capacity, recovery objectives, network connectivity, and the level of managed services. This can make it harder to compare pricing directly with more standardized, consumption-based offerings. Organizations may need a detailed statement of work to understand what is included versus billed separately.
Not a backup-first product
While DRaaS can incorporate backup and recovery components, the core focus is disaster recovery orchestration and managed recovery operations. Organizations seeking a single, unified backup platform with broad SaaS application coverage and extensive end-user restore features may need additional tools. Fit can depend on whether the primary requirement is DR failover or day-to-day data protection and granular restores.
