High Availability, Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
Always On, failover clustering, replication and tested backup and recovery plans that keep your databases running and your business open.
Downtime and data loss cost far more than prevention. We design, build and test the high availability and disaster recovery setup your business needs, matched to how much data you can afford to lose and how quickly you must be back online.
What we deliver
Availability and risk assessment
Find single points of failure and agree on realistic recovery point (RPO) and recovery time (RTO) objectives for each system.
Always On availability groups
Synchronous and asynchronous replicas, automatic failover and readable secondaries for SQL Server.
Failover cluster instances
Windows Server failover clustering for SQL Server, built and validated to best practice.
Log shipping and replication
Proven, cost-effective options for warm standby servers and reporting copies.
Backup and restore strategy
Encrypted, verified backups with offsite and immutable copies and retention that meets your policies.
Disaster recovery to Azure or a second site
Recovery environments in Azure or another data center, ready to take over when the primary fails.
Business continuity planning
Documented runbooks, roles and communication plans so everyone knows what to do during an outage.
DR testing and failover drills
Scheduled restore tests and failover rehearsals that prove your plan works before you need it.
Monitoring and alerting
Health, replication lag and backup job monitoring that warns us before small issues become outages.
