Disaster recovery as a service
The challenge
Your organization faces increasing threats from cyberattacks, natural disasters, and hardware failures, all of which can lead to costly downtime and data loss. Traditional backup methods are often insufficient to ensure rapid recovery and business continuity. Lean IT teams struggle to manage complex, manual disaster recovery plans, especially in multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The stakes are high, as a single incident can lead to significant financial losses, reputational damage, and even business failure if you are not prepared.
Learn moreThe solution
Disaster recovery as a service addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.
Cloud-based replication
Replicates your entire IT infrastructure in the cloud, providing a warm standby environment for rapid failover.
Orchestrated failover and failback
Automates the process of switching operations to the recovery site and transitioning back to the primary site without data loss.
Immutable and air-gapped recovery
Prevents ransomware from encrypting backups by providing logically or physically disconnected storage.
Continuous data protection (CDP)
Replicates data every few seconds to ensure the lowest possible Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
Multi-platform support
Supports heterogeneous environments, including virtual machines, physical servers, and cloud-native workloads.
AI-driven anomaly detection
Uses AI to scan replication streams for signs of ransomware encryption, alerting the team before infection.

How to evaluate disaster recovery as a service
Orchestrated failover
Ensure the solution can boot applications in a specific sequence and transition them back to the primary site without data loss.
Continuous data protection (CDP)
Prioritize solutions that offer CDP for near-instant recovery point objectives.
Immutable and air-gapped recovery
Verify the solution provides air-gapped storage that is logically or physically disconnected from the production network.
Non-disruptive testing
Confirm the ability to run full-scale disaster drills in a sandbox environment without impacting live production data.
Questions to ask suppliers
Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.
Disaster recovery as a service RFP guide- Can you demonstrate a 'non-disruptive' failover test?
- What are the specific data egress costs if we need to failback 50TB of data?
- How does your solution handle 'application dependency mapping' during a failover?
- Do your 'immutable' backups reside on a physically separate network?
