Who really needs data mobile recovery services? Why not just set up a remote facility or use some kind of cloud-based service?
Arranging for a mobile data recovery solution is a major decision, partly because of the cost, and also because of the logistics and arrangements that need to be made in advance. Medium to large companies, particularly those with critical data centers, call centers, or other operational requirements, are likely candidates. In-place recovery solutions, such as hot/cold sites, may be a more cost-effective solution, especially if there are very severe RTO requirements. On the plus side, mobile data recovery services are typically a single-customer solution, and there is no line awaiting access to a hot site, especially if many users have declared a disaster. Of course, in a major disaster, this could dramatically change, as we mentioned earlier. Given available technologies, and assuming the affected company has multiple locations, a remote facility could be easily put into service (assuming it has been preplanned and configured) as a backup site.
