Disaster Recovery Services (DRaas)

Protera offers disaster recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) as part of our application and cloud managed services portfolio, enabling companies to adopt consistent disaster recovery operations integrated across the entire business.

Our disaster recovery solution is designed with Automated Disaster Recovery Framework that can help you
systematically test, validate, and prove that your disaster recovery plan can withstand cyberattacks and restore operations with minimal downtime or disruption.

At the same time, Protera’s integration of real-time analytics and proactive monitoring identify and
mitigate potential threats before they can impact business operations, enhancing your disaster
preparedness and response capabilities.

Traditional DR tests relied heavily on industry point solutions and could only evaluate single business functions, leading to siloed assessments, fractured DR plans, and a massive drain on resources.

Protera ensures that all areas of the business can be tested systematically and regularly so that critical physical and virtual IT workloads are always kept safe and kept running—regardless of specific business, security, and/or compliance needs. Our backup and recovery services ensure that data integrity and availability are maintained.

With Protera’s DR Framework in place, you’ll never have to wonder whether your disaster recovery plan will actually work. We’ll ensure you are insurable against disaster, prepared for the urgency of real-world situations, and equipped for rapid recovery.

Our outcome-focused disaster recovery framework simplifies the complexities of performing DR testing for enterprise applications.

In addition, our backup-as-a-service ensures continuous data protection, enabling quick restoration and minimal disruption. Protera's automated, low-touch, and cloud-based DR solution achieves aggressive RPO/RTO using automated runbooks to initiate failover and perform isolated disaster recovery testing.

A series of actions are performed on each group of applications that start each application in the correct order and also ensure that the application is running.

The Protera Automated Disaster Recovery Framework ensures all areas of the business are identified and tested on a regular basis automatically, removing the drain on resources caused so often by legacy approaches.

This robust approach supports not only effective disaster recovery but also comprehensive site recovery and application continuity.

This approach ensures processes will be executable with minimal human intervention, whether you’re in dress rehearsal for chaos or facing the real thing.
