How it works, step by step in 3D

  1. Normal service Users reach the primary site through the traffic manager.
  2. Replicate Data is copied to the DR site at an interval set by your recovery point objective (RPO).
  3. Detect failure Health checks fail and the traffic manager marks the primary site as down.
  4. Fail over Traffic is redirected to the DR systems running on the replica, within your recovery time objective (RTO).

How we deliver it

We set recovery targets (RPO and RTO) with you, then match tooling to them. Recovery is tested on a schedule so the plan is proven before it is needed.

  1. Business impact analysis and recovery targets
  2. Design: multiple copies including an offline or immutable one
  3. Implement: backup jobs, replication and runbooks
  4. Test: scheduled restore and failover drills
