Eliminate downtime, protect critical systems, and ensure business continuity with disaster recovery as a service that works before you need it.
Every business faces risk. A ransomware attack that locks you out. A hardware failure that wipes critical data. A natural disaster that takes down your infrastructure.
The difference between failure and resilience? Preparation.
Downtime isn’t just lost revenue – it’s lost customers, credibility, and compliance. IT leaders aren’t measured by how they respond to a crisis but by whether they’ve built a disaster recovery strategy that ensures business continuity no matter what.
With Evolution Systems’ Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), downtime is no longer an option. Our disaster recovery solution protects IBM Power Systems, x86, and Linux workloads from disruption, so businesses, and the people they serve, can keep moving forward.
Disaster strikes without warning. A power outage, cyberattack, or human error can bring your business to a standstill. But every disruption has a ripple effect. A healthcare system failure isn’t just lost data – it’s a patient who can’t be treated. A delay in logistics isn’t just an operational hiccup – it’s a family waiting on essentials.
When the event of a disaster occurs, every second counts.
While others scramble to react, your business – and the people relying on it – stay online.
A Backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service solution is only as strong as the disaster recovery plan behind it. An untested failover process is as dangerous as no process at all.
We don’t just provide recovery – we prove it works.
As CIOs and IT Directors, you’re responsible for more than infrastructure – you’re protecting the entire business and the people who depend on it.
Your biggest risk? An approach that’s too slow, too complex, or untested when disaster strikes.
We make DRaaS a strategic advantage, not just an insurance policy
This isn’t just about what is disaster recovery as a service – it’s about ensuring you never lose control.
A business interruption isn’t just an IT problem – it’s a people problem. When systems fail, production lines stop, payments don’t process, flights don’t take off, and essential services grind to a halt.
A single outage can delay life-saving medical equipment, prevent families from accessing their finances, or disrupt supply chains that businesses and communities rely on. The consequences are real, and they escalate fast.
Technology should never be the bottleneck. Just like traffic control keeps cities moving, we ensure businesses run without disruption – so people get what they need, when they need it.
It’s not about IT – it’s about impact.
Modern IT demands agility, resilience, and confidence in the face of disruption.
With Evolution Systems, disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) offers businesses a cost-effective and scalable solution that guarantees business continuity – not just for operations, but for the people and communities they serve.
Talk to an expert today and build a disaster recovery strategy that ensures your business stays online – no matter what.
Disaster Recovery as a Service is a fully managed solution that ensures your critical systems, applications, and data remain available—even in the face of unexpected failures. It works by continuously replicating your data and workloads to a secure cloud environment, allowing for rapid failover in the event of a cyberattack, hardware failure, or natural disaster.
Unlike traditional disaster recovery, which relies on expensive secondary data centres and manual intervention, DRaaS automates the recovery process. With orchestrated failover, real-time replication, and multi-site redundancy, your business can switch to a secure backup environment within minutes, not hours or days.
A tested and proven DRaaS strategy ensures that when a disruption occurs, your business keeps moving - without scrambling for last-minute fixes.
The biggest advantage of DRaaS is that it transforms disaster recovery from a costly, resource-intensive burden into a scalable, cost-effective service that adapts to your business needs.
Guaranteed Business Continuity: Your systems stay online, no matter what happens.
Fast Recovery Time: With recovery time objectives (RTOs) as low as 15 minutes, you minimise downtime and disruption.
Near-Zero Data Loss: Real-time replication and immutable backups ensure that even in a ransomware attack, your data remains untouched.
No More Expensive Secondary Data Centres: Traditional DR requires heavy infrastructure investments; DRaaS provides a fully managed, pay-as-you-grow model that reduces capital expenditure.
Fully Managed & Tested: Regular failover testing ensures your recovery process actually works when you need it.
Traditional backups store copies of your data, but they don’t provide a way to quickly restore operations when disaster strikes. A data backup is static - you restore it manually, often resulting in prolonged downtime, incomplete data recovery, and operational delays.
Cloud DRaaS is different.
Continuous Replication vs. Periodic Backups: Backups may only run once a day, while DRaaS continuously replicates changes in real time.
Automated Failover vs. Manual Recovery: Instead of waiting for IT to restore backups manually, DRaaS allows for instant failover to a secondary environment, keeping your business operational.
Fully Orchestrated Recovery vs. DIY Fixes: DRaaS ensures a tested, automated recovery plan, whereas backups rely on IT teams to manually rebuild systems, which is slow and error-prone.
Cloud Resilience vs. On-Prem Vulnerabilities: Unlike on-prem backups, which can be affected by the same disaster, cloud-based DRaaS is geographically dispersed and protected from local outages or cyber threats.
If your business needs to recover within minutes rather than hours or days, Cloud DRaaS is the answer.
Absolutely. A one-size-fits-all approach to disaster recovery doesn’t work. Your business has unique infrastructure, applications, compliance requirements, and recovery priorities—your DRaaS strategy should reflect that.
A tailored disaster recovery solution should include:
Custom RTO & RPO Targets: Your recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) should align with the criticality of each workload. Mission-critical applications may need near-zero downtime, while other systems can have longer recovery windows.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Support: Whether you run on IBM Power Systems, x86, public cloud, or private cloud, DRaaS should protect your entire infrastructure seamlessly.
Industry-Specific Compliance: Businesses in finance, healthcare, and government sectors require strict regulatory alignment (e.g., ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS). DRaaS should meet your governance needs.
Regular Testing & Optimisation: Disaster recovery plans must evolve with your business. A provider should conduct frequent failover tests to ensure recovery is seamless.
Not all DRaaS solutions are created equal. Many public cloud providers like Azure Site Recovery or AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery offer DRaaS capabilities, but they often lack the hands-on expertise and proactive management that enterprises need.
When evaluating a DRaaS provider, look for:
Fast Recovery & Failover Automation: Recovery must happen in minutes, not hours - with minimal manual intervention.
Near-Zero Data Loss: Ensure the provider offers real-time replication and immutable backups to prevent corruption or ransomware exposure.
Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Support: Your workloads may be spread across on-prem, private cloud, and multiple public clouds - DRaaS must protect them all.
Geographically Dispersed Data Centres: True resilience comes from multi-region failover options that keep your business online even in widespread disasters.
Regular Testing & Compliance Alignment: DRaaS should include ongoing failover testing and compliance reporting to ensure seamless recovery and regulatory readiness.
Fully Managed, Not Just a Tool: Many cloud providers offer self-service disaster recovery, meaning IT teams must configure and maintain the service. A true fully managed DRaaS solution eliminates that burden, ensuring everything is handled by experts.
Public cloud providers offer disaster recovery tools, but true business resilience requires more than just infrastructure - it demands expert management, real-time testing, and an end-to-end recovery strategy.
