DRaaS Design & Advisory
Use cloud recovery capacity without maintaining a full secondary data centre.
Jiva Technologies assesses, designs, integrates, and supports Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions. Engagements cover DRaaS readiness assessment, workload tiering, provider and platform evaluation, network and identity integration, replication onboarding, failover testing, and ongoing platform coordination through the applicable support agreement.
Assessment, design, integration, and lifecycle advisory.
Pilot-light, warm-standby, and hot recovery per workload.
Evaluated against customer requirements and constraints.
What we deliver
DRaaS Readiness Assessment
Assess workload profile, application dependencies, recovery objectives, connectivity, identity, and security controls to determine which workloads are suitable for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS).
Workload Discovery & Tiering
Inventory applications and infrastructure, confirm criticality tiers from the Business Impact Analysis, and map each workload to a suitable recovery pattern.
Provider & Platform Evaluation
Evaluate DRaaS providers and platforms against functional, technical, commercial, and geographic requirements; produce a comparison and shortlist to support customer decision-making.
Pilot-Light, Warm-Standby & Hot Recovery
Design pilot-light, warm-standby, and hot recovery patterns matched to workload tiers, cost expectations, and target Recovery Time and Recovery Point Objectives.
Landing Zone & Network Integration
Design recovery landing zones, VPN, SD-WAN, routing, DNS, firewall, and network-extension configuration between primary and DRaaS environments.
Identity & Access Integration
Integrate identity providers, directory services, privileged access, and application authentication so recovered workloads operate under the correct access controls.
Replication & Workload Onboarding
Onboard workloads into replication, validate initial synchronisation, and confirm application-consistent recovery in the DRaaS environment.
Failover, Failback & SLA Review
Support failover and failback testing, review provider service definitions and SLAs, and align internal runbooks with provider capabilities.
Ongoing Platform Coordination
Coordinate configuration changes, replication health, provider incidents, and lifecycle activities on behalf of the customer through the applicable support agreement.
Why teams call us
- A dedicated secondary site is hard to justify
Building and operating a secondary data centre commits capital, floor space, connectivity, and specialist skills to capacity that is used infrequently.
- DRaaS options are difficult to compare
Provider architectures, contracts, replication technologies, recovery capabilities, and pricing models vary significantly and are difficult to evaluate objectively.
- Network, identity, and application dependencies missing
DRaaS designs often overlook DNS, routing, VPN, firewalls, identity, licensing, and application dependencies required to bring workloads back into service.
- Provider commitments are not validated
Service definitions and recovery targets are accepted from the provider without a structured recovery exercise using real workloads and dependencies.
Our approach
DRaaS delivered as an independent assessment, architecture, integration, onboarding, testing, and support service across selected provider and platform options.
- Baseline
Confirm workload tiers, technical dependencies, security requirements, data residency, RTO and RPO expectations, and existing disaster recovery capabilities.
- Evaluate & Design
Compare appropriate provider and platform options and define pilot-light, warm-standby, hot, cloud, or hybrid recovery patterns matched to workload requirements.
- Integrate & Onboard
Configure replication, cloud landing zones, routing, VPN or SD-WAN, DNS, identity, firewalls, security controls, and recovery orchestration with the selected provider.
- Validate & Support
Test agreed recovery procedures, document limitations, review service reports, maintain runbooks, and coordinate provider escalation as required.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Correct DRaaS Onboarding — Remediation Sprints
DRaaS onboarding incomplete, replication errors persistent, or provider integration missing network, identity, or licensing dependencies? Jiva Technologies delivers a defined-scope DRaaS remediation engagement to correct onboarding, dependencies, and runbooks, and validate provider-supported recovery procedures.
- Correct workload onboarding, replication, recovery-policy, cloud-resource, and provider-integration failures
- Remediate VPN, SD-WAN, routing, DNS, firewall, identity, security, and network-extension dependencies
- Rebuild recovery runbooks and validate provider-supported failover and failback procedures
DRaaS Coordination & Support — AMC-Backed
Under an AMC, Jiva Technologies coordinates the DRaaS environment on behalf of the customer — replication and readiness reviews, runbook maintenance, service-change handling, and technical escalation to the selected DRaaS provider during agreed service hours.
- Scheduled review of workload protection, replication health, recovery resources, and provider reports
- Maintenance of DRaaS runbooks, network dependencies, access controls, and recovery procedures
- Service-change coordination, entitlement review, testing support, and provider technical escalation
