Disaster Recovery and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Prepare your business for the unexpected with our Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). We go beyond simple backups to meet your specific compliance needs and safeguard your business in the event of a disaster.
Your sites and applications will be replicated to a secondary certified and compliant DR site, hosted in one of our Tier 3+ data centres in multiple global locations, ready to failover if needed.
With a DRaaS solution, you will have the peace of mind that your infrastructure is protected, without the need to invest in or maintain your own off-site DR environment. We meet strict SLAs for disaster recovery with clearly defined recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs).
What is disaster recovery?
Disaster recovery (DR) is the concept of continuing business operations after a disaster – any unseen event which could put your business at risk. This could be a natural disaster such as fire or flooding, or a cyber attack which may leave your infrastructure standing, but completely disrupt your business operations.
A disaster recovery plan consists of processes and procedures that are laid out specifically to be able to resume business as usual in the shortest possible time. This involves resuming access to applications, hardware, data, servers, networking equipment, power and connectivity.
We use the industry-leading technologies Zerto, Veeam, Nakivo and Doubletake for DR solutions, and can failover to Hyve, Azure and AWS cloud environments.
