Disaster Recovery

What is Disaster Recovery?

Disaster Recovery (DR) is a subset of Business Continuity focused specifically on restoring IT systems and data after an incident. It ensures that servers, storage, virtual machines, and applications can be brought back quickly and safely — often in a secondary location.

While BCP ensures the business keeps going, DR ensures the infrastructure behind it is recoverable.

Why It Matters

Without a working DR strategy, organizations risk:

  • Data loss or corruption

  • Prolonged downtime (weeks instead of hours)

  • Regulatory non-compliance

  • Irreversible reputational damage

Regulations such as ISO 27001 and DORA require tested and documented DR capabilities — not just backups.

How We Help

We offer DR-as-a-Service (DRaaS) through our Private Cloud platforms in Luxembourg and Germany, as well as on-prem-to-cloud DR for hybrid environments.
