Disruptions whether from cyberattacks, power failures, or human error can bring operations to a halt. That’s why Azure Site Recovery, paired with Azure Backup, forms a vital line of defence. At Veracloud, we design and manage cloud-based Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) solutions that keep your business running, no matter the challenge.
Why Business Continuity Should Be a Priority
BCDR isn’t just about backup it’s about maintaining your ability to deliver services under pressure. Without a clear recovery strategy, even minor disruptions can lead to major financial losses or damage your reputation. At Veracloud, we integrate BCDR into your IT environment from day one — not as an afterthought, but as a foundation.
Let’s Break This Down: RPO and RTO
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) defines how much data your business can afford to lose usually measured in time. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) outlines how quickly you must recover operations after an outage.
We collaborate with you to set achievable targets that align with your risk tolerance and operations then we build a solution to meet them.
What Is Azure Backup?
Azure Backup is Microsoft’s cloud-native solution for safeguarding data across Azure VMs, SQL databases, and on-premises workloads. What this means for your business is scalable protection without the cost or complexity of traditional infrastructure.
- Centralised Management: Control all backups from one intuitive portal.
- Elastic Storage: Scale up as your data grows.
- Transparent Pricing: Pay only for what you use no surprises.
- Secure by Design: Built-in encryption and compliance controls.
What Is Azure Site Recovery?
Azure Site Recovery (ASR) replicates your IT environment to a secondary location. If your primary systems go down, ASR keeps your applications available through quick failover and orchestrated recovery.
- Automated Replication: Continuously mirror workloads to the cloud.
- Orchestrated Failover: Automate recovery plans for reliable responses.
- Minimised Downtime: Meet your RTOs and keep critical services running.
- Application Consistency: Recover entire systems with data and app integrity intact.
We’ve successfully deployed ASR solutions across multiple industries, helping insurers, law firms, and SMEs achieve robust recovery readiness.
