Backup & Disaster Recovery Services (DRaaS)

Multi‑tenant, enterprise‑grade firewalling for IaaS and connected sites without hardware overhead.

The Challenge. Outages, Cyber Incidents, And Human Error.

It happens - even in well-run environments. The question is not if, but how quickly you can recover. Many organisations have backups but lack a proven failover plan. DRaaS closes the gap between data protection and full service continuity.

The Expertise. DRaaS That Replicates Workloads

At FirstNet we deliver DRaaS that replicates workloads to secondary locations, orchestrates failover, and validates recovery with regular testing. Teams know exactly what to do when incidents strike.

  • Rapid Recovery: automated failover and failback minimise downtime.
  • Proven Plans: scheduled tests validate recovery time objectives.
  • Business Alignment: tiered protection based on application criticality.
  • Visibility & Reporting: dashboards that track readiness and test outcomes.
  • Cost Efficiency: flexible pricing aligned to protected capacity.

FAQs

Is backup enough?

Backups protect data, but DRaaS restores entire services quickly. Both are required for true continuity.

How often do you test?

We recommend quarterly tests for critical systems and bi-annual for others, with ad-hoc tests after major changes.

Can users work during failover?

Yes. We design access and routing to keep key functions online while recovery proceeds.
