Backup and Recovery

A modern strategy creates reliable copies of critical information, protects them against alteration and verifies that they can be restored. The architecture can cover physical servers, virtual machines, databases, files, business applications, Microsoft 365, cloud workloads and remote sites.

Disaster Recovery

Backup primarily protects information. Disaster Recovery protects operational capability. A DR architecture can replicate workloads to a secondary location or cloud environment and orchestrate their restoration following a major disruption.

HPE Zerto

For virtualised and cloud environments with demanding availability requirements, ECS can design architectures based on HPE Zerto technologies. Continuous replication, orchestration and recovery automation can reduce potential data loss and downtime, according to the project design and agreed objectives.

Cyber Resilience and Ransomware

Modern protection must address ransomware and cyber incidents alongside conventional failures. A layered approach may combine backup, replication, immutable copies where appropriate, segmentation, monitoring and recovery testing.

Business-aligned RPO and RTO

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) defines how much recent data the organisation can afford to lose. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) defines how quickly a service should return to operation. ECS helps classify critical applications and design protection according to these objectives.
