Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Ensure Business Continuity with Comprehensive Disaster Recovery Planning

Our Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity service provides a complete framework to protect your business from any disaster scenario, whether cyber attack, natural disaster, hardware failure, or human error. We design, implement, and manage comprehensive DR/BC plans that ensure minimal downtime and data loss. Our solutions include automated failover systems, geo-redundant infrastructure, regular DR testing, and documented recovery procedures. With recovery time objectives (RTO) as low as 15 minutes and recovery point objectives (RPO) measured in minutes, we ensure your business operations continue even in the face of catastrophic events.

FAQs

How often should we test our disaster recovery plan?

We recommend quarterly testing at minimum, with annual full-scale DR exercises. Critical systems should be tested monthly.

hat's the difference between RTO and RPO?

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is how quickly you need to recover, while RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is how much data you can afford to lose. For example, 1-hour RTO means systems must be recovered within 1 hour, and 15-minute RPO means you can lose at most 15 minutes of data.

Do we need a separate DR site?

It depends on your requirements. Cloud-based DR solutions can eliminate the need for a physical DR site, providing cost-effective recovery to the cloud.

Can we use cloud for disaster recovery?

Absolutely! Cloud-based DR (DRaaS) is often the most cost-effective solution, eliminating the need for expensive secondary datacenters while providing excellent RTO/RPO.

What happens to our DR site if the disaster is widespread?

We implement geo-redundant DR sites in different regions/countries to protect against regional disasters. Your DR site is far enough away to avoid being affected by the same event.

How do you ensure our DR plan stays current?

We provide ongoing DR plan management including regular reviews, updates for infrastructure changes, continuous testing, and annual plan refreshes.
