Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
When a region fails, a database is corrupted, or ransomware hits — how long until you're back, and how much data do you lose? If you can't answer with a number you've tested, you don't have a DR plan. You have a hope.
The problem
Most companies discover the gaps in their disaster recovery the day they need it. Backups that were never restored, failover procedures that only one departed employee understood, dependencies on services that fail together with the primary system. Meanwhile the business assumes "the cloud handles it" — it doesn't, unless you design for it.
What we build
DR strategy with real numbers
Business-impact analysis per workload, tiered RTO/RPO targets, and an architecture matched to each tier — from backup/restore to active-active multi-region.
Azure-native resilience
Azure Site Recovery, geo-redundant storage, paired regions, zone-redundant services, and automated database failover groups — used where they earn their cost.
Failover as code
Recovery orchestrated through infrastructure as code and runbooks, so failover is a rehearsed procedure — not an all-hands panic.
DR drills
Scheduled game days that actually fail over production-like environments, measure recovery times, and feed findings back into the design.
How an engagement runs
- Assess: inventory workloads, map dependencies, quantify the cost of downtime per system, and agree on RTO/RPO tiers with the business.
- Design: a right-sized DR architecture — not everything needs active-active, and the plan says explicitly what does and what doesn't.
- Build: implement replication, backup validation, failover automation, and monitoring that tells you your DR posture is healthy today.
- Prove: run a full DR drill together, document measured recovery times, and hand over runbooks your team can execute alone.
What you get
- Documented, tested RTO/RPO per workload — evidence you can show auditors, insurers, and customers.
- Automated failover for the systems that justify it, verified restores for everything else.
- A team that has practiced recovery and isn't afraid of the big red button.
