Infrastructure that
fails gracefully
Active-passive and active-active DR and Backup configurations. Automatic failover. Sync/async replication — RPO from seconds. Because $300K per hour is not a budget line item.
Average cost of one hour of unplanned downtime
Source: Gartner research on enterprise downtime costs. For financial services and healthcare, costs can exceed $1M per hour in direct revenue loss, regulatory fines, and reputational damage.
Three pillars of enterprise DR
Failover Design
Architect active-passive and active-active DR topologies aligned to your RTO/RPO requirements. Automatic and manual failover modes with configurable thresholds.
- Active-passive configuration
- Active-active for critical systems
- Automatic & manual failover triggers
Replication
Synchronous and asynchronous replication with RPO from seconds. Continuous data protection keeps your DR site current at all times.
- Sync replication — RPO near-zero
- Async replication — RPO from seconds
- WAN-optimized transfer
Regular DR Testing
Quarterly DR drills with full runbook documentation. Test failover in an isolated environment without impacting production systems.
- Quarterly scheduled DR drills
- Isolated test failover environment
- Full report and RTO validation

Monitoring
What happens during a real outage
Automated health monitors detect failure within 60 seconds. Alert cascade triggers on-call engineer. Failover decision made and executed — all within your contracted RTO window.
Supported DR architectures
On-prem to on-prem, on-prem to cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), cloud to on-prem. Single-site and multi-site topologies. Works with VM Bridge for complete lifecycle coverage.
