Azure Disaster Recovery as a Service — DRaaS

Most disaster recovery plans are written once, filed away, and never tested. When an actual disaster strikes — datacenter failure, ransomware encryption, or Azure regional outage — organisations discover that their replication was misconfigured, their recovery procedures are outdated, and their actual RTO is 10x longer than documented. The cost of this discovery is catastrophic: extended downtime averaging $5,600 per minute for enterprise systems, data loss, regulatory penalties, and customer trust that takes years to rebuild. Opsio's Azure DRaaS eliminates the gap between documented plans and actual capability. We deploy Azure Site Recovery for continuous replication of VMs, databases, and application tiers to secondary Azure regions. Recovery plans are automated with sequenced failover steps, pre- and post-scripts, and manual approval gates for critical decisions. Most importantly, we test failover quarterly — actually executing the recovery plan in a sandboxed environment to verify that applications come up correctly, data is consistent, and recovery time meets your RTO targets.

Our DRaaS solution covers the full business continuity lifecycle: risk assessment and BIA (business impact analysis), RPO/RTO definition per application tier, replication architecture design, automated recovery plan implementation, regular testing, and ongoing monitoring of replication health. We support Azure-to-Azure DR, on-premises-to-Azure DR via Azure Site Recovery, and hybrid scenarios with Azure Arc integration.
