Disaster Recovery: Your Response to Disruptions

Disaster recovery in the IT sector refers to the strategies and processes designed to restore IT systems and services following a disruptive event. A disaster recovery strategy goes far beyond a high availability approach. It is an integral part of an organization's incident response measures, whether dealing with natural disasters or human-caused events such as cyberattacks, hardware failures, or power outages. Disaster recovery aims to minimize downtime, recover critical data, and rapidly restore essential IT functions to ensure business continuity.

Disaster recovery (DR) is a critical component of IT infrastructure planning and management. It ensures that organizations can recover quickly from disruptive events and maintain business continuity under any circumstances.

When selecting disaster recovery technologies and solutions, organizations must consider their specific business requirements, budget constraints, and the level of protection needed for critical data and IT systems.

Count on R2i for a Robust Disaster Recovery Plan

R2i supports you through every stage of your disaster recovery journey:

  • We work with you to develop a tailored disaster recovery strategy.
  • We help you implement that strategy using a range of computing, software, and storage technologies, whether on-premises or in our cloud environment, Edwin.
  • We manage your disaster recovery solution on your behalf, both locally and within the R2i cloud.

R2i: Your Partner for Every Aspect of Your Disaster Recovery StrategyChoosing the Right Replication Tools

Replication technologies such as VMware, Zerto, Veeam Backup & Replication, and QuickEDD, as well as hardware-based SAN-to-SAN replication solutions, create redundant copies of data and IT systems either in real time or at scheduled intervals.

As a result, if a primary system fails, a secondary system can quickly take over operations.

Implementing the right replication tools is essential to a successful disaster recovery strategy, and R2i can help you select the solutions best suited to your environment.

Moving to Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Services

Clients using our cloud services have access to Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), enabling them to replicate and rapidly recover critical data and systems.

R2i can also reserve computing resources for organizations that maintain their own on-premises infrastructure while storing backups in the R2i cloud, providing additional disaster recovery capacity when needed.

Choosing the Right Disaster Recovery Testing Tools

The only way to validate the effectiveness of a disaster recovery plan is to test it.

R2i can help you develop and execute a disaster recovery testing strategy, whether on-site or within our Edwin sovereign cloud environment.

Cyber Threats and Disaster Recovery

Preparing for natural disasters is essential, but it is no longer enough. Given the increasing frequency of cybercrime, organizations are far more likely to experience a cyberattack than a natural disaster. Recovering from these incidents often requires complex recovery procedures and specialized expertise.

Natural Disaster vs. Cyberattack: Different Recovery Approaches

During a Natural Disaster

  • You generally know which systems and data have been affected.
  • You can identify the resources and information required to restore operations.

During a Cyberattack

  • You may not know which data has been compromised.
  • It can be difficult to determine which backups remain unaffected.
  • You must identify the data and systems that can be safely used to restore operations and resume business activities.
