How Our Disaster Recovery Service Works

Replicate Workloads from Your Primary Environment

Continuous replication maintains synchronized recovery copies without interrupting production systems.

  • VM-level replication using Veeam

  • Application-aware processing

  • Encrypted data transfer

Ongoing Synchronization to Canadian Infrastructure

Workloads are replicated to secure Canadian data centres with defined recovery objectives.

  • Configurable RPO

  • Cross-country infrastructure

  • Data residency maintained

Secure Cloud-Based Failover

Failover is initiated during a disruption to restore services in a controlled sequence.

  • Pre-configured network access

  • Recovery aligned to RTO

  • Structured workload prioritization

Controlled Failback to Production

Once primary systems are restored, workloads are returned through a validated, managed process.

  • Data re-synchronization

  • Integrity verification

  • Post-recovery confirmation

DRaaS Capabilities

A structured disaster recovery service delivered through defined replication, testing, and controlled failover.

Virtual Machine Replication

Continuous VM replication to Canadian infrastructure using Veeam technology.

Defined Recovery Objectives

Configurable RPO and RTO aligned to documented business impact requirements.

Immutable Recovery Points

Protected recovery copies secured against unauthorized modification.

Disaster Recovery Testing

Scheduled, non-disruptive validation of recovery procedures and objectives.


 

24/7 Monitoring

Continuous infrastructure oversight through our Network Operations Centre.

Secure Network Controls

Segmented recovery environments with encrypted connectivity and role-based access.

Disaster Recovery Testing and Validation

Testing confirms that disaster recovery as a service performs under real conditions. Each validation cycle aligns recovery objectives, infrastructure capacity, and operational readiness.

Step 1: Align Recovery Objectives

Recovery time and recovery point objectives are reviewed against business impact requirements. Critical workloads and recovery priorities are confirmed before testing begins.

Step 2: Validate Replication and Infrastructure

Replication health, storage capacity, and network connectivity are assessed. Recovery environments are verified to ensure readiness for activation.

Step 3: Execute Controlled Failover Simulation

Replicated workloads are activated in a secure recovery environment. Application functionality, access controls, and system dependencies are tested without affecting production.

Step 4: Measure Recovery Performance

Actual recovery time and recovery points are compared against defined targets. Variances are documented and reviewed.


 

Step 5: Document, Refine, and Reconfirm

Findings are recorded, runbooks are updated, and recovery procedures are refined. Subsequent testing cycles confirm continuous improvement.

Why Organizations Invest in DRaaS

Reduced Downtime

Recovery objectives are defined and validated to minimize service interruption.

Controlled Data Loss Exposure

Replication frequency aligns with defined recovery point objectives.

Measurable Recovery Performance

Testing cycles confirm recovery time objectives are achievable.

Ransomware Resilience

Immutable recovery points prevent unauthorized modification of replicated data.


 

Lower Secondary Infrastructure Overhead

No requirement to maintain a separate recovery data centre.

 

Compliance Alignment

Recovery documentation and testing support regulatory obligations.

Veeam Disaster Recovery and Replication

Production Workloads | Secure Veeam Replication | Recovery Environment

Defined Recovery Objectives

RPO and RTO are configured at the workload level and aligned with documented business requirements.

Infrastructure Extension

The recovery environment operates as an extension of production without requiring a secondary on-premises site.

Controlled Failover and Failback

Structured activation and re-synchronization preserve data integrity during recovery events.

Our Veeam disaster recovery as a service framework uses secure replication to maintain synchronized recovery environments in Canadian infrastructure.

Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Service in Canada

Our disaster recovery service operates within secure Canadian data centres designed for resilience, compliance, and regional redundancy.

Canadian Data Residency

All replicated workloads and recovery environments are hosted within Canada. Data remains governed by Canadian privacy legislation, including PIPEDA.

Regional Geo-Redundancy

Western and eastern Canadian facilities support geographic separation and recovery continuity across regions.

SOC 2 Type II and Compliance Alignment

Infrastructure is audited under SOC 2 Type II controls. Recovery procedures, access controls, and data handling practices align with documented compliance requirements.

Cross-Canada Network Infrastructure

Dedicated backbone connectivity supports secure replication, failover traffic, and controlled recovery operations between primary and recovery environments.

Disaster Recovery Planning and Advisory

Disaster recovery as a service extends beyond replication. Effective recovery requires structured planning, documented procedures, and ongoing validation.

Recovery Planning and Documentation

Recovery runbooks, failover sequences, and escalation paths are documented and maintained. Testing results and configuration updates are recorded to support controlled recovery execution.

Business Impact Analysis Support

Critical workloads are prioritized based on documented business impact requirements. Recovery time and recovery point objectives are aligned with operational risk tolerance.

Regulatory and Industry Requirements

Recovery procedures and data handling practices align with applicable regulatory and industry standards. Documentation supports audit readiness and governance oversight.

Ongoing Advisory and Optimization

Recovery configurations are reviewed periodically to reflect infrastructure changes, application growth, and evolving risk exposure.

Disaster Recovery Service vs Cloud Backup

Cloud backup and disaster recovery as a service serve different purposes. Many organizations use both as part of a layered protection strategy.

Cloud Backup vs DRaaS

Capability

Cloud Backup

DRaaS

Primary Purpose

Data protection

System and workload recovery

Recovery Scope

Files and system images

Full virtual machines and applications

Recovery Speed

Restore-based recovery

Failover-based recovery

Downtime

May require rebuild time

Designed for rapid activation

Infrastructure

Backup storage repository

Live standby recovery environment

Use Case

Data retention and restoration

Operational continuity during disruption

 

Layered Backup and Disaster Recovery Strategy

Cloud backup protects recoverable copies of data. Disaster recovery as a service provides a ready-to-activate recovery environment. Organizations requiring operational continuity typically implement both:

  • Backup for data retention

  • DRaaS for system availability
