Disaster Recovery (DR)
Standby infrastructure, data replication, and verified recovery runbooks to restore operations rapidly.
What this is
Disaster recovery solutions engineered to protect your business against major hardware failures, data corruption, or facility outages by maintaining synchronized standby systems.
How it works
- 1Define business recovery targets: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
- 2Configure automated data replication to a secondary infrastructure target.
- 3Develop step-by-step failover runbooks with automated DNS switching.
- 4Conduct scheduled recovery drills to verify that standby systems boot correctly.
What's included
| Replication | Continuous or scheduled asynchronous data replication |
| Standby Capacity | Pilot-light or warm standby compute nodes |
| Failover Runbook | Documented, verified emergency recovery procedures |
| Testing | Scheduled DR drills to validate recovery objectives |
Suitability assessment
✓ When this makes sense
- •Organizations where server downtime of more than a few hours creates severe financial loss.
- •Businesses requiring a formal Disaster Recovery Plan for enterprise clients.
✕ When it doesn't
- •Internal development or staging environments where downtime causes no business harm.
