The challenge

Your organization faces constant threats, from ransomware to natural disasters, that can disrupt operations and lead to significant financial losses. Traditional backup methods are often insufficient, leaving you vulnerable to prolonged downtime and data loss. The increasing complexity of IT environments, coupled with evolving cyber threats, demands a robust disaster recovery strategy to ensure business continuity and protect your critical assets.

The solution

Disaster recovery addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.

Immutable storage

Protects backup files from ransomware encryption, acting as the final line of defense against data loss and ensuring recoverability.

Orchestrated failover

Automates the process of bringing applications back online in the correct sequence, eliminating human error and reducing recovery time.

Unified data protection

Manages both legacy on-premises workloads and modern cloud-native applications within a single interface, simplifying disaster recovery management.

Identity resilience

Provides specific protection for Active Directory and Entra ID, ensuring that employees can log in after a recovery.

Anomaly detection

Uses AI and ML to detect the pre-symptoms of an attack, such as unusual encryption patterns in backups, enabling proactive intervention.

Agentic self-healing

Enables autonomous recovery of infrastructure without human intervention, minimizing downtime and improving resilience.

How to evaluate disaster recovery

1

Deployment and hybridity considerations

Evaluate whether the solution offers a unified management plane for on-premises, public cloud, and edge environments.

2

Integration requirements

Ensure the disaster recovery system integrates with SIEM platforms, ITSM tools, and identity providers for seamless operation.

3

Total cost of ownership (TCO) factors

Prioritize systems that reduce the manual burden through automation, as labor required for testing and maintenance is a primary driver of cost overruns.

4

Vendor stability and roadmap

Look for vendors who are investing heavily in AI and agentic automation, as these will be key differentiators in the next three years.

Questions to ask suppliers

Use these questions during supplier evaluations to ensure you're choosing the right partner for your needs.

Disaster recovery RFP guide
  • Can you demonstrate a clean recovery of our multi-tier application stack within our RTO, including the restoration of associated Identity (AD) services?
  • What specific administrative controls prevent an attacker with compromised root credentials from deleting or altering our immutable backups?
  • How does your pricing model account for compute burst and data egress costs during a full-scale failover and failback exercise?
  • What is the average Recovery Time Actual (RTA) observed across your customer base for a ransomware event, and how does this differ from theoretical RTO?
