Explanation

Measured service (pay-per-use) is the cloud characteristic that makes BCDR most cost-attractive. BCDR resources are typically idle the vast majority of the time - they only need to be active during an actual disaster or test. With measured service, an organization only pays for the compute, storage, and network resources it actually consumes, rather than maintaining costly dedicated standby infrastructure 24/7. This dramatically reduces the capital and operational expense of maintaining DR capacity. On-demand self-service enables quick provisioning, but it is the cost efficiency of measured service that makes cloud BCDR financially superior to traditional DR approaches.
