Disaster Recovery (DRaaS)
Restore your services quickly
Backup is often the most effective way to keep business data safe. Yet just as often rapid restore is a critical aspect, and a good Disaster Recovery system is the most complete choice for most companies: it not only preserves data from a predefined point (RPO) but also makes it possible to restore it quickly (RTO) on on-site or Cloud Recovery infrastructures.
How do I restore my services?
Rely on a managed service. For companies that want to stop dealing with Disaster management, the managed service is the ideal and safest answer. Sundata lets you attach to your infrastructure a Disaster Recovery system built around your budget and your needs, filling the gaps of your on-site infrastructure with flexible, on-demand tools.
Why choose our Disaster Recovery service
Sundata offers an analytical method for choosing your Disaster Recovery solution, putting its experience, expertise and professionalism at your disposal. Two useful reference parameters are RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective), as they determine how effective your system is in the event of a Disaster.
A Disaster is that unpredictable event that causes the destruction or corruption of data (e.g. ransomware) or of the machines that contain it (e.g. fire). In IT, the goal of a disaster recovery system is to achieve the lowest possible RPO and RTO.
For example, a system with an RPO of 1 hour will let you go back in time, recovering the state of the virtual machine (and therefore the data) from one hour before the Disaster. RTO, on the other hand, is the time the system, supported by technical staff, takes to become operational again: data restore operations and the restart of service delivery. So with an RTO = 2 hours, you should expect 2 hours of downtime before the services blocked by the Disaster restart.
When RPO = 0 and RTO is between 0 and a few minutes, we speak of Business Continuity. Of course, the closer the RPO and RTO values get to ZERO, the more the required budget demands more sophisticated and often more costly systems. This is why our experts help you choose the solution that balances your needs with your budget.

How effective is your Disaster Recovery system?
The first step is to assess the system currently in use at your company, if any. Most companies have a backup system, more or less effective, but they rarely have a system dedicated to Recovery or even a specific Recovery procedure.
How important are the services it protects?
This factor is critical to determine the right RPO and RTO level needed to ensure a high level of continuity for your services. It will of course depend on the economic importance of the services to your business, or on the value you choose to assign to them.
How important is rapid restore of services?
This factor determines the type of infrastructure on which service restore must be planned. In some cases, for example, it may be necessary to rely on Cloud infrastructures that handle data Recovery and are able to deliver services to business users even in the event of a total Disaster (e.g. a fire at the main Data Center).
