Core DRaaS: Disaster Recovery as a Service
Business disruption happens — Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) helps you restore operations in just a few clicks, with no heavy upfront costs. Core DRaaS enables rapid recovery from ransomware attacks, hardware failures, or any unexpected event.
Why Disaster Recovery is Critical?
of breaches involved a non-malicious human element, like a person falling victim to a social engineering attack or making an error
of companies globally lack a business continuity plan, putting them at risk of severe business disruption and data loss
Core DRaaS delivers Disaster Recovery as a Service with seamless recovery and proactive protection for your critical systems and data. Minimize downtime and keep operations running—even during major disruptions.
How it Works
How Core DRaaS Ensures Business Continuity
Assess & Prepare - Identify critical systems, applications, and data for disaster recovery. Set up customized backup and failover plans tailored to your business needs, ensuring all essential workloads are protected.
Configure Recovery Systems - Deploy recovery servers in the cloud with pre-defined configurations, enabling seamless failover to similar or dissimilar hardware during an outage.
Automate Recovery Processes - Use intuitive runbooks to automate recovery steps, ensuring systems are restored in the correct order to address dependencies. This reduces errors and accelerates recovery times.
Secure Connectivity - Establish secure site-to-site or point-to-site VPN connections between your local infrastructure and cloud recovery sites to maintain secure access during failovers.
Test & Validate - Perform automated test failovers regularly to verify recovery plans and ensure everything works as expected. AI-powered tools validate server readiness, providing reports for compliance and confidence.
Failover & Failback - During disruptions, initiate a failover to shift workloads to the recovery environment with near-zero downtime. When the primary systems are restored, failback seamlessly to on-premises infrastructure.
Monitor & Optimize - Use real-time dashboards to monitor system health and recovery operations. Leverage analytics to identify potential risks and continuously refine your disaster recovery strategies.
Compliance & Reporting - Maintain compliance with industry standards by using detailed execution reports and audit logs. These records demonstrate preparedness and recovery success for internal and external stakeholders.

Real-World Applications of Core DRaaS
ERP System Failure
A manufacturing company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system crashes due to a failed software update, stopping production and preventing order processing.
Solution: Core DRaaS continuously replicates ERP workloads in a secure failover environment. When failure is detected, the system automatically spins up the most recent failover instance, allowing the factory to resume operations with minimal downtime. Once the primary system is repaired, a seamless failback restores the original infrastructure with full data integrity.
Database Corruption
A financial institution’s core SQL database becomes corrupted due to an improperly applied patch, causing customer accounts to display incorrect balances.
Solution: Core DRaaS provides instant failover to a live database replica, maintaining data consistency and preventing service disruption. Continuous data validation ensures that corrupted records are not transferred, and after resolution, the failback process ensures all restored data meets compliance standards.
Virtualization Platform Crash
A cloud service provider experiences a hypervisor failure, bringing down hundreds of virtual machines (VMs) across multiple clients.
Solution: Core DRaaS detects the issue and immediately initiates cross-hypervisor failover, moving workloads to a secondary hypervisor in a geographically redundant data center. The automated recovery process ensures all VM dependencies remain intact, preventing broken application links or data loss.
Airline Reservation System Downtime
An airline’s reservation and ticketing system crashes, preventing bookings, check-ins, and flight status updates for passengers.
Solution: Core DRaaS maintains a high-availability failover system with continuous transaction mirroring. In case of failure, active bookings are instantly switched to the backup system. Once restored, a bidirectional sync ensures ticket data is up to date, preventing double bookings or loss of passenger information.
ISP Service Failure
A regional Internet Service Provider (ISP) experiences a core routing failure, leaving thousands of residential and business customers offline.
Solution: Core DRaaS instantly fails over critical ISP services, including DNS, DHCP, and network routing, to a secondary infrastructure. This ensures that essential connectivity remains intact while the primary system is repaired, preventing large-scale customer complaints and revenue losses.
DevOps Pipeline Outage
A software development company experiences a CI/CD pipeline outage, preventing developers from deploying new updates, running automated tests, or maintaining version control.
Solution: Core DRaaS instantly fails over Jenkins, GitLab, and Kubernetes clusters to a secondary site, ensuring uninterrupted development. Once the primary system is restored, failback keeps all build artifacts and version history intact.
