N-able has strengthened its business resilience portfolio by expanding Cove Data Protection with a new co-managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution. With this move, the company aims to help organizations recover faster from cyber incidents and infrastructure failures while avoiding the high costs and operational complexities of managing their own disaster recovery environments.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, attackers increasingly target backup and recovery systems, making traditional resilience strategies less effective. Consequently, businesses are now re-evaluating their disaster recovery approaches. In many cases, legacy recovery models that rely heavily on self-hosted infrastructure expose organizations to prolonged downtime during critical incidents. Today, downtime is no longer tolerable, especially when even a few minutes of disruption can significantly impact revenue and customer trust.
To address these challenges, Cove DRaaS introduces a proactive recovery model. Specifically, it enables organizations to replicate their production workloads into N-able’s secure, cloud-hosted environment. As a result, businesses can instantly fail over to this environment when a disruption occurs, ensuring continuity without delay.
“PCS had been using a mix of third-party tools for disaster recovery, solutions that worked, but were often complex and time consuming to set up and manage. After trialling Cove DRaaS, the difference was immediately clear. The process is far more streamlined and intuitive, freeing up our team to spend more time supporting customers rather than managing infrastructure,” said Scott Hawkey, Technical Director at PCS. “Cove DRaaS strikes a strong balance between simplicity and capability, making enterprise-grade disaster recovery more accessible and strengthening overall data recovery and business resilience.”
Unlike traditional systems that restore data only after an incident occurs, Cove DRaaS maintains pre-configured virtual servers within the N-able cloud. Therefore, organizations can immediately switch operations to a clean and secure environment during cyberattacks. Additionally, businesses can continue operations while isolating and resolving affected systems, significantly reducing downtime and operational disruption.
Moreover, the introduction of this co-managed DRaaS offering reflects a broader industry trend. Increasingly, organizations are shifting toward vendor-managed disaster recovery solutions due to rising costs, limited internal expertise, and growing infrastructure complexity. By eliminating the need to build and maintain dedicated recovery environments, N-able simplifies disaster recovery while offering predictable pricing and operational efficiency.
Furthermore, Cove DRaaS provides flexibility by allowing organizations to select which workloads they want to protect. This ensures better cost control while maintaining robust security. Ultimately, the solution helps businesses move beyond simple backup strategies and embrace true operational resilience through secure, rapid recovery in a managed cloud environment.
“Downtime and data loss are no longer acceptable risks, especially as cyberattacks continue to target production and backup environments,” said Chris Groot, General Manager, Cove Data Protection at N-able. “With Cove DRaaS, we’re providing MSPs and IT teams with a secure, cloud-hosted recovery environment that enables rapid failover when it matters most – without the cost, complexity, or risk of building and managing DR infrastructure themselves. It’s about helping our partners protect revenue, restore operations quickly, and deliver true data resilience for their customers.”
