Cloud Disaster Recovery

Cloud disaster recovery solutions that safeguard data and minimise downtime, enabling rapid recovery from disruption.

The problem

What usually brings people to this.

  • A DR plan that has never been executed end to end
  • Recovery objectives that were never agreed with the business
  • Backups that exist but have not been restored from
What we do

Business continuity with a recovery position you have actually tested

We design cloud disaster recovery to defined recovery point and recovery time objectives, then test against them. A recovery position that has not been exercised is an assumption, not a capability.

  • 01

    RPO / RTO definition

    Recovery objectives agreed with the business rather than assumed by IT.

  • 02

    Backup and replication design

    Data protection architecture matched to the agreed objectives.

  • 03

    Failover design

    The technical path from disruption to running service.

  • 04

    Recovery testing

    Scheduled exercises that verify the recovery position holds.

Technologies and frameworks in scope

  • Microsoft Azure
  • AWS
Methodology

How the engagement runs.

A defined sequence, so you know what is happening at any point and what comes out of each stage.

  1. 01

    Agree recovery objectives

    Recovery point and recovery time objectives set with the business rather than assumed by IT.

    • RPO
    • RTO
    • Business sign-off
  2. 02

    Assess the current position

    Establish what is protected today, and what only appears to be.

    • Current backups
    • Replication
    • Coverage gaps
  3. 03

    Design backup and replication

    Data protection architecture matched to the agreed objectives.

    • Backup design
    • Replication
    • Retention
  4. 04

    Design failover

    The technical path from disruption to running service.

    • Failover path
    • Dependencies
    • Runbooks
  5. 05

    Test the recovery position

    Exercise the plan end to end rather than assuming it holds.

    • Scheduled exercises
    • Validation against RPO / RTO
  6. 06

    Maintain and re-test

    Keep the recovery position current as the estate changes around it.

    • Re-test cadence
    • Change impact
Deliverables

What you receive.

  • 01Cloud disaster recovery design document
  • 02Agreed RPO and RTO per workload
  • 03Backup and replication design
  • 04Failover runbooks
  • 05Recovery test reports
Outcome

What changes afterwards.

  • A recovery position that has been exercised rather than assumed
  • Recovery objectives agreed with the business, not set by default
  • Gaps between the plan and the running estate made visible
  • Continuity evidence that can be shown rather than described

Questions

Before you get in touch.

Do you test the recovery position, or just design it?

Both — recovery testing is one of the four capability areas. A recovery position that has not been exercised is an assumption, not a capability, so scheduled exercises verify it holds.

Who sets the recovery point and recovery time objectives?

They are agreed with the business rather than assumed by IT, so the technical design is built against targets the organisation actually needs, not a default.

Does this cover backup as well as failover?

Yes — backup and replication design is matched to the agreed RPO/RTO objectives, alongside the failover design that defines the technical path from disruption to running service.

Which cloud platforms is this available on?

Microsoft Azure and AWS.
