Edge restores: why proximity beats raw bandwidth

Ask any practice manager what "fast recovery" means and they'll describe a feeling: the X-rays are back before the next patient is in the chair. That feeling has surprisingly little to do with your internet speed.

Distance is latency

A central cloud region can be a thousand miles from the practice that needs its data. Every round trip pays that distance twice. Throughput helps with big sequential transfers, but recovery is full of small, chatty operations where latency dominates — and latency is a function of how far the bits have to go.

Restore where the data is needed

DDSArk restores at the edge: the DDSArk agent at the practice downloads the encrypted recovery point and decrypts it on site, so the data is reassembled where it is needed.

Proximity isn't a nice-to-have. For the moments that matter, it's the whole game.
