Al Muhaidib Group, a diversified Saudi Arabian holding company, gained uninterrupted continuity for its business-critical SAP systems by using Microsoft Azure for disaster recovery (DR). By using Azure as its DR site, Al Muhaidib keeps the business running even in the face of a disaster at its primary datacenter, pays for DR services only when used, and avoids significant backup datacenter costs. By using Azure for other IT needs, it gains instant scalability to accommodate rapid business growth.
