If you could have a fully configured ready idle copy of your VM sitting waiting for you to fail over to in case of issues - what would that be worth to you? Would you pay 50% extra? 100% ... 200%? Or perhaps nothing?
Or, for the service providers/hosters here, what would you charge for it? Like, if someone pays you $100/mo for a server, and you upsell them a DRaaS solution - how much extra could you charge for this? What would a 'fair' price be?
It would be a fully uptodate replica with idle&reserved infrastructure (CPU/RAM/Storage/etc) waiting for you to failover to ensuring minimum downtime in case of failure.
It seems to me that this kind of service is reserved exclusively for the high-end enterprises as Zerto/Veem/etc are not at all priced for massmarket or SME use cases.
So, if you pay $100/mo for a VM/Server, what would a fair price be for that server to have a full DR service attached to it? A replica ready to fail over to at any time - only a DNS change required.
Your input would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
