Documented runbooks. Workload-level RPO/RTO. Isolated failover testing. 15-minute coordination after declaration. ModernOps DRaaS turns disaster recovery from theory into evidence, across VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, NetApp, Pure, Veeam, NAKIVO, Zerto, Cohesity, and the Pennsylvania & Arizona data centers.
Disaster Recovery as a Service proves an organization can recover critical systems after an outage, ransomware event, site failure, or infrastructure disruption, with documented runbooks, tested procedures, and post-test reporting that turns recovery from theory into evidence.
DRaaS is a managed program that provides documented runbooks, tested failover procedures, recovery infrastructure, RPO/RTO validation, declaration workflows, engineering support, and post-test reporting, the operational fabric that connects backup, replication, and infrastructure into a recoverable system.
ModernOps supports DR across on-prem secondary sites, cloud targets, colocation environments, and the ModernOps Hosted Platform. Real-world recovery patterns span VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, NetApp, Pure Storage, Veeam, NAKIVO, Zerto, Cohesity, Fortinet, Check Point, and the Phoenix & Valley Forge data centers.
When a real declaration arrives, the SLA defines the response: coordination begins within 15 minutes, the DR plan is activated, systems are restored using the most recent viable recovery point, up to 24 hours of client validation testing is supported, and a return-to-primary plan is created with restoration order, resync, switchback timing, and DR-site reset.
Every test produces a DR Test Report: objectives, schedule, execution steps, validation results, issues, resolutions, lessons learned, and recommendations, feeding the next exercise so the program improves on every cycle.
DR planning shows up in four conversations across the IT and risk org. We answer each of them with documented runbooks, tested evidence, and reportable outcomes, not theoretical commitments.
DR conversations almost always start with the same set of doubts. We turn each one into an operating commitment, written into the SOW and the runbook.
DR becomes a controlled service motion: documented runbooks, isolated test environments, coordinated recovery across the stack, declaration workflows, engineering support, and post-test reporting, all part of the recurring rhythm.
Two snapshots of the same recovery footprint. One in the world without ModernOps DRaaS, one with it operationalized.
Customers have pieces of recovery capability, backups, storage replication, VM replicas, hardware at a second site, or a cloud target, but no consistent proof those components can restore business operations together. A typical pre-engagement assessment captures the state plainly: "No DR runbooks; undefined RPO/RTOs; no tested plan."
DR becomes a documented, testable service motion. Onboarding confirms the test tier and cadence, collects or creates the runbook, documents workload-level RPO/RTO, confirms the DR target, validates the latest viable recovery point, schedules the first test, and delivers a DR Readiness Summary. Every test feeds the next.
Same business outcome on paper. Different operating model. Seven dimensions where recovery shifts from documentation theatre to documented evidence.
| Dimension | Legacy approach | ModernOps DRaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery planning | DR lives in old diagrams, tribal knowledge, assumptions. | Runbooks collected or created, recovery procedures per workload, RPO/RTO targets defined. |
| Declaration process | Teams debate who can declare a disaster. | Declaration authorities, support-line steps, second-contact verification, restoration initiation. |
| Recovery environment | DR may share risk with production. | Tests in isolated or non-routable recovery environments. |
| Tool execution | Backup, storage, VMware, firewall, and network teams act separately. | Coordinated recovery across Veeam, NetApp, Pure, VMware, Fortigate, LogicMonitor, and other in-scope platforms. |
| Test evidence | "We tested DR" is hard to prove. | Documented objectives, schedule, execution, validation, issues, resolutions, recommendations. |
| Recovery objectives | RTO / RPO targets are vague. | Workload-level RPO/RTO validated against test outcomes. |
| Continuous improvement | DR tests end when the meeting ends. | Gaps captured (routing, VLANs, CIFS permissions, ACLs, power-on sequence, VDI access) and runbooks updated. |
Each outcome maps to a specific operational deliverable, not a marketing promise.
From declaration through return-to-primary, every step is named, owned, and timed. No phone trees. No improvisation. No "who's authorized to do this" debates while the clock is running.
Declaration goes in. PROD goes red. The runbook executes top to bottom. DR comes up service by service. Validation gets the green light. The whole exercise on one screen.
Real-world recovery patterns across hypervisors, storage replication, backup/replication tooling, network and security, and recovery targets. Bring your stack, we've operated against it.
SLA targets, cadence, and representative engagement values from active Colocation + DRaaS deals.
Three repeatable phases. Predictable handoffs. A documented finish line, DR Test Report and updated runbook delivered to the customer at day 30.
The operating choices that separate a tested DRaaS program from a binder of hopes and a vendor portal.
Service definition, testing tiers, declaration mechanics, validation, reporting, and how DRaaS sits next to Backup Management and Colocation, answered in plain language.
Bring us your runbooks (or your blank page). We'll document RPO/RTO, prepare an isolated test environment, run the failover, and deliver a DR Test Report, within 30 days of kickoff.
