Service Overview

Strategy grounded in your operating environment.

Amerix treats disaster recovery as a business-resilience discipline. We help organizations connect critical services to recovery priorities, define RTO and RPO targets, shape recovery architecture, document procedures, and establish a repeatable testing program.

The Challenge

Recovery plans can appear complete while critical dependencies, ownership, validation, and business priorities remain unclear. An effective program connects technical recovery to service impact and proves readiness through documented testing.

Capabilities

Capabilities aligned to your priorities.

The engagement is tailored to organizational priorities and maturity. These capabilities provide a starting point for agreeing on the scope.

01

Business Impact Assessment

Identify critical business services, disruption impacts, dependencies, owners, and recovery priorities to guide investment and design.

02

Recovery Time Objectives

Define and validate how quickly priority services must be restored after disruption, based on business requirements and dependencies.

03

Recovery Point Objectives

Establish acceptable data-loss tolerances and align protection, replication, retention, and recovery design accordingly.

04

Disaster Recovery Architecture

Develop recovery patterns and target architecture across applications, infrastructure, data, identity, networking, and operational tooling.

05

Azure Recovery-Service Considerations

07

Plan tabletop and technical exercises, capture evidence, resolve findings, and maintain a recurring improvement cadence.
