Introduction/Business Challenges
Your applications require the ability to quickly recover from an Availability Zone (AZ) outage (for workloads running in a single region/single AZ), an entire region failure, data corruption, and account compromise to keep your organization running smoothly and mitigate risk from disaster and downtime. React to these disasters proactively with cloud-to-cloud backup and restore solutions built to meet or exceed your organization’s goals and deliver on your defined Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) with automation for re-establishing resources from your backup components.
Our solution
Insight’s AWS Disaster Recovery Backup & Restore offering is a combination of design, deployment, and in-depth knowledge transfer. This four-week engagement involves evaluating the backup and restore capability of a single application and implementing a Disaster Recovery (DR) solution that meets your defined RPO and RTO. We’ll provide your team with architecture design and a deployed cloud-to-cloud DR solution using the native backup and restore capabilities of AWS.
