For organizations that cannot say how long they would be down if the main site failed tomorrow.
We design disaster recovery for the systems you cannot be without, with a standby copy in Azure through Azure Site Recovery or Veeam. Recovery objectives are set per application, and failover and failback are proven in a test first.
The Backup and Recovery Assessment shows what is protected and what the business needs back first. Disaster recovery for the critical applications then proves one application before building the rest.
Typically 2–3 weeks
What is backed up and what is not, where copies live, when a restore last worked, and the recovery time and point each application needs.
Backups that run, but no list of what they cover or when a restore last worked.
Recovery objectives set per application, a DR architecture agreed, one application protected and failed over first, then the rest with their own tests and documents.
One system that would stop the business if it stopped, and a standby nobody designed.
A global engineering nonprofit ran its systems from two aging data centers.
Usually not. Azure can be the standby: replication runs to Azure, failover brings the application up there, and failback returns it when the main site is healthy. The design says what Azure capacity the standby needs.
Backup gets data back. Disaster recovery gets the application running again somewhere else within a time you chose. A system can have good backups and still take days to rebuild, which is what recovery objectives expose.
By failing over. The first application is failed over to a test environment with its owners watching, and the steps are written from that test. Each remaining application gets its own test before sign-off, and the yearly exercise after that is part of Managed Backup and Recovery.
Azure Site Recovery for replication to Azure, Veeam or Azure Backup for backups, and your existing platform where it does the job. The Assess phase recommends, you decide.
Mostly how many applications need a standby and what recovery objectives they carry. How much data replicates, and whether your backup platform stays or changes, set the rest.
Application owners for each protected system, your current restore procedures, access to the Azure subscription and the servers, and the purchases the design calls for. If a restore procedure you give us is wrong, the test will show it, which is the point of testing.
It starts with a 60-minute call. If we need more to scope it, a short questionnaire follows. Then a written proposal and statement of work. Once you approve, we begin with the Assess phase.
