Warm, hot, or active-active

Continuous replication and rehearsed runbooks throughout — the difference is how much capacity waits for you on the other side.

Two ways to run it

Replication, or a rehearsed service

Both replicate continuously. The difference is who runs the failover when it matters.

Who decides, who runs it

What each group gets from Disaster Recovery

Four groups shape a cloud decision. Pick the one you belong to — the platform reads differently from each seat.

Continuity is rehearsed, not promised

Objectives are agreed per tier and proven by drills, so continuity claims survive both a board and a regulator.

FAQs

How often do we rehearse?
Annually to quarterly depending on the shape — with stakeholders involved and recovery times measured.
What RPO and RTO can you commit to?
From 15 minutes down to near-zero RPO, and RTO from four hours to fifteen minutes, agreed per workload tier.
Does the recovery site stay in-country?
Yes — a second sovereign zone in the same jurisdiction unless you specifically ask otherwise.
Who invokes failover?
You do by default. Under Managed Recovery we invoke within an agreed mandate and report afterwards.
How does this differ from Backup?
Backup gets data back; DR gets the service running again in a second zone, in a defined time.
How is the flat fee different from public cloud pricing?
Everything inside the plan you opt for is included — no additional charge for the components that make it up. Public clouds meter each component on consumption, so the bill moves with usage. Here the plan is reserved for you and the figure you agreed is the figure you pay.
Can we drive it from Terraform and CI?
Yes. Every operation is exposed through the REST API, CLI and a maintained Terraform provider, with scoped API keys per team. If the console can do it, your pipeline can do it.
How do limits and quotas work?
Quotas are yours to shape — carve capacity per team or project and delegate inside it. Hard ceilings are a conversation, not a wall; the estate re-baselines at thresholds you approve.
Can security services be included in my plan?
Yes. Endpoint security, firewalls and WAF are scoped into the same flat fee when you add them — one figure, no separate security invoice.
