Disaster Recovery as a Service
Tested, proven, and ready to go. Not a binder on a shelf that nobody has opened since 2019 -- an actual recovery plan that we test regularly and can execute in minutes. You will know exactly how long it takes to get back online because we have already done it.
Talk to an EngineerMost DR Plans Fail the First Time They Are Actually Needed
The average cost of IT downtime is over $5,600 per minute. That is not a typo. And here is the part nobody talks about: most companies discover their disaster recovery plan does not actually work at the worst possible moment -- when they need it. Untested backups. Manual runbooks nobody has reviewed in two years. A "failover" that has never been triggered outside of a PowerPoint presentation. If you have never tested a full recovery, you do not have a disaster recovery plan. You have a hope. We can fix that.
What Exodata DRaaS Actually Looks Like
We replicate your critical systems to geographically separated infrastructure and test failover regularly. When something goes wrong, recovery happens in minutes -- not because a slide deck says so, but because we have already done it in testing.
Custom RTO & RPO Targets
Not every system needs the same recovery speed, and not every budget supports near-zero RPO. We sit down with you, figure out which systems are truly critical, and set Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives that make sense for your business. Your ERP might need sub-15-minute RTO. Your file server might be fine with daily snapshots. We build the plan around reality, not marketing tiers.
Geographic Failover
Your replicated environment lives in a facility that is far enough away that the same tornado, flood, or power grid failure cannot take out both sites. We run data centers and cloud regions across multiple locations specifically so your failover site survives whatever took down your primary.
Automated DR Testing
This is the part most providers skip. We run regular, automated failover tests -- full application-level validation, not just "the VM booted." You get documented results showing exactly what happened, how long recovery took, and whether your applications came back correctly. No surprises when it counts.
Managed Recovery Operations
When disaster actually strikes, you are not on your own flipping through a runbook at 3 AM. Our operations team executes the failover, manages the recovery environment, and handles the failback once your primary site is restored. You get a dedicated incident commander who owns the process from start to finish.
What This Means for Your Business
Minutes, Not Days
You are back online before most companies have finished their first conference call about the outage. Automated failover brings critical systems up in minutes, not the hours or days that manual recovery takes.
Predictable Monthly Cost
No surprise capital expenses for DR hardware you hope you never use. One monthly fee covers replication, storage, testing, and support. You know the number before the invoice arrives.
Proven, Not Theoretical
Every recovery plan we build gets tested on a regular schedule. When an auditor or your board asks "does this actually work?" you hand them the test results. No hand-waving required.
Ransomware Protection
Immutable snapshots and air-gapped replicas mean ransomware cannot encrypt or delete your recovery data. If you get hit, we restore from a clean, pre-infection snapshot -- often in minutes.
24/7/365 Recovery Team
Disasters do not wait for business hours. Our operations team responds within 15 minutes, any time of day, any day of the year. Real engineers, not an answering service.
How It Works
We Figure Out What Actually Matters
We walk through your environment with you, identify the critical applications and data, map out dependencies, and define RTO/RPO targets based on what downtime actually costs your business -- not generic industry benchmarks.
We Design the Recovery Architecture
Our engineers build a replication plan that matches your recovery targets. This covers storage, compute, networking, and DNS failover at the recovery site. Everything is documented and reviewed with your team before we deploy anything.
We Set Up Replication
We deploy replication agents, configure continuous data synchronization, and set up automated failover triggers. Your recovery environment stays current without you thinking about it.
We Test It -- For Real
Scheduled DR tests verify that applications come online correctly, data integrity holds up, and recovery targets are met. You get a detailed report after every test. If something does not meet the target, we fix it before it matters.
We Keep It Running
Our team monitors replication health, manages capacity, and stands ready to execute failover 24/7/365. As your environment changes -- new servers, new applications, new locations -- we update the DR plan to match.
Why Companies Trust Us with This

- Compliance-Ready -- DR processes are documented and auditable for HIPAA, SOC 2, and other regulatory frameworks
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup copies your data so you can restore files if they get lost or corrupted. That is important, but it is only part of the picture. Disaster recovery replicates your entire environment -- servers, applications, networking, data, the works -- so you can fail over to a fully running copy of your infrastructure in minutes. Think of backup as "I can get my files back" and DR as "I can get my whole business back." We offer both, and we will help you figure out the right approach for each workload.
How often do you actually test failover?
It depends on your requirements, but we recommend quarterly full-failover tests at minimum. A lot of our clients test monthly. The tests are automated, they do not disrupt production, and they produce detailed reports showing recovery time, data integrity, and application availability. The whole point is that when a real event happens, nobody is doing this for the first time.
Can DRaaS protect against ransomware?
Yes, and this is one of the biggest reasons companies come to us. Our DRaaS platform uses immutable snapshots and air-gapped replication targets that ransomware cannot touch. If you get hit, we restore your environment from a clean snapshot taken before the infection -- often in minutes, depending on your RTO target. The attackers encrypt your production systems; we spin up the clean copy.
What recovery speeds can you actually achieve?
For mission-critical workloads, we can do near-zero RPO with continuous replication and sub-15-minute RTO. For less critical systems, hourly or daily RPO with one-hour RTO is a more cost-effective option. We do not push everyone into the most expensive tier. We help you match each workload to the recovery speed it actually needs.
Find Out Your Actual Recovery Time
Most companies cannot answer "how long until we are back online?" We will help you get that answer. No guesswork, no scare tactics -- just an honest assessment of where you stand and what it would take to get recovery times you can count on.
