Disaster Recovery Solutions

Know exactly what happens when things go wrong.

A disaster recovery plan that has never been tested is not a plan — it is a hope. We design, implement, and validate Azure BCDR solutions that meet your RTO and RPO targets, with documented runbooks your team can actually execute under pressure.

Why DR Plans Fail When You Need Them

Most DR failures are not technical — they are planning and testing failures. These are the patterns we see.

  • RTO and RPO targets not defined — team has no success criteria

  • Backups never restored — restorability unverified

  • No runbook — recovery depends on one person's tribal knowledge

  • Replication not monitored — lag discovered during an incident

  • Recovery responsibilities unclear — teams argue during incidents

  • DR tests skipped — 'we'll do it next quarter' for years

Our DR Implementation Approach

We start with your business requirements, not Azure services — then work backward to a tested, documented solution.

Phase 1

Define RTO, RPO, and Scope

We work with your business stakeholders to define recovery objectives per application tier, classify criticality, and agree on what a successful recovery looks like.

  • RTO and RPO per application and data tier
  • Criticality classification (critical, important, low)
  • Recovery scope and exclusions
  • Business impact analysis for top workloads

DR Capabilities We Deliver

From backup policy to active-active — every DR pattern on Azure.

Azure Site Recovery

VM and physical server replication to Azure with tested failover and failback.

Azure Backup

Vault policies for VMs, SQL, files, and blobs with immutability and soft-delete.

Active-Active Architecture

Multi-region active-active with Traffic Manager or Front Door for zero-RPO workloads.

Runbook Automation

Azure Automation runbooks for orchestrated failover with approval gates.

DR Testing

Isolated test failovers with measured RTO/RPO and documented results.

Replication Monitoring

Alerts on replication lag, backup job failures, and vault health.
