DRaaS
When Disaster Strikes, You Need to Bounce Back Fast
Our approach is simple: store your data safely, activate recovery only when needed, and ensure business continuity every step of the way.
Real Problems Require Real Recoveries
Natural disasters, power outages, and cyber incidents don’t wait for a convenient time. When they hit, downtime can prevent staff from accessing files, serving clients, or continuing projects. Without a reliable solution ready in place, recovery can take days, and the damage to trust and revenue can last far longer.
We provide Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS): a cloud-based solution that helps businesses restore data and resume operations quickly after an outage, breach, or hardware failure. DRaaS ensures systems (including virtual machines, applications, and files) can be recovered and run in a secure public cloud environment within hours, not days.
It’s a step beyond traditional backups.
What is Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)?
DRaaS protects the things that keep your business running: your data, your systems, and your time. Our cloud disaster recovery as a service removes the need for expensive duplicate infrastructure.
You store your backup data in the cloud, and if disaster strikes, compute power is activated only when needed. Our team can spin up your systems virtually and make them available within two hours in most scenarios.
Smart Recovery Backed by Real People
Many businesses still rely on on-premise backups that assume everything around them will keep working. That assumption breaks quickly during a flood, server failure, or ransomware attack.
Our DRaaS solution offers a critical layer of protection by storing your backup data offsite and giving you a fast way to restore systems in the cloud.
With Deployus, you’ll get:
- Speed: We recover cloud-hosted virtual machines in as little as two hours, so your team can resume work with minimal disruption.
- Cost Savings: There are no surprise compute charges. You only pay for storage, and activation fees apply only if a real recovery is needed.
- Custom Plans: Every disaster recovery plan is designed around your risk profile, infrastructure, and recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO).
Behind the Scenes of Our DRaaS Offering
Our DRaaS solution is designed to restore your operations quickly and predictably. It’s not a theoretical solution; it’s a live recovery process that’s been tested and proven, designed to minimise downtime and keep your business running when things go wrong.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Backup & Sync
Your critical systems are continuously backed up using a 3-2-1 model: three copies, two stored locally, and one in the public cloud. This keeps data secure and ready for recovery.
2. Disaster Trigger
Whether caused by a natural disaster, cyberattack, or hardware failure, the moment an outage is detected, we step in. Backup data is verified and recovery protocols are activated.
3. Cloud Activation
We spin up your virtual machines in a secure, cloud-hosted environment. Most clients regain access to core systems within two hours - sometimes faster. You don’t pay for this compute time unless it’s used.
4. Failback or Continue
Once the original environment is restored, we transition your systems back smoothly. If the local environment isn’t viable yet, operations can continue in the cloud.
Cloud Recovery Experts You Can Count On
Our clients stay with us because we do what we say we’ll do – and we make it easy to see the value in backup and disaster recovery as a service.
We guarantee:
- You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for. DRaaS is priced on actual usage, with storage-only billing until a real disaster triggers recovery.
- The same engineer will work with your team regularly, onsite and remotely. That continuity builds trust and faster results.
- Every job is documented in plain language. No vague line items, no guesswork about what’s been done or why.
- All calls go directly to our support team and are answered by the third ring. There’s no call automation or menu maze, just help when you need it.
- A DRaaS solution that protects your business operations using reliable, tested cloud infrastructure. Virtual machines and data backup systems are regularly reviewed and kept ready for activation.
Recovery that Fits Your Business and Budget
Every business faces different risks. A medical practice running patient records needs fast recovery. A construction firm may just want to ensure files aren’t lost.
DRaaS should reflect those differences.
Our team takes the time to understand what failure would cost you, whether that’s lost revenue, compliance penalties, or stalled operations. That’s how we define RTO and RPO benchmarks that are realistic and relevant.
Our disaster recovery strategies are also aligned to budget. You’ll get clear options, a plain-English scope of work, and recommendations that match what your business can afford, not what vendors want to sell.
The result is a disaster recovery plan that keeps your business continuity intact, without overspending on technology you won’t use.
Don’t Leave Recovery to Luck. Build a Plan that Works.
Disaster Recovery as a Service from Deployus is much more than a safety net. It’s a working, tested system that gives you back control when things go wrong.
Our cloud-based approach means you don’t pay for unused infrastructure, and our service model ensures you only pay when you need it. Most importantly, you have local experts who know your systems and are ready to act.
Whether it’s a minor interruption or a major outage, Deployus DRaaS gives your business the ability to recover quickly, without stress, and with minimal downtime.
FAQs
Straightforward Answers to Your Pressing Questions
What’s the difference between DRaaS and traditional disaster recovery?
Traditional disaster recovery often involves duplicating your hardware environment in a secondary location. This can be expensive and difficult to manage, especially for small to medium businesses. DRaaS uses cloud infrastructure to replicate your systems virtually, so you don’t need to maintain physical standby equipment. You only pay for storage and activate recovery if and when it’s needed.
How does DRaaS work to protect my data?
DRaaS continuously backs up your critical systems to a secure cloud environment. In the event of an outage (due to a natural disaster, cyberattack, or system failure) your systems are spun up virtually in the cloud. This means your data remains available and your team can keep working with minimal delay. It also removes the risk of local-only backups being compromised.
How is DRaaS different from BaaS?
Backup as a Service (BaaS) handles the regular copying and storage of data. It’s useful for retrieving individual files or recovering from data loss, but it doesn’t provide a way to run your systems during an outage. DRaaS includes BaaS, but adds the ability to restore and operate entire environments (like servers or virtual machines) so your business can function during a major disruption.
Why is there a need for the cloud in disaster recovery solutions?
Cloud infrastructure allows businesses to recover quickly without investing in duplicate physical systems. Public cloud platforms are built to be scalable, resilient, and available from anywhere. This makes them ideal for hosting backup data and spinning up virtual machines during a disaster. It also helps businesses meet recovery targets without long lead times or hardware delays.
What type of businesses need DRaaS?
DRaaS is well-suited for any organisation that relies on data, systems, or applications to operate. This includes healthcare providers, legal firms, engineering companies, and any business with remote teams or compliance requirements. It’s especially valuable for those that can’t afford prolonged downtime or data loss, but don’t want the cost of a full secondary data centre.
