CirrusgoDRaaS: Rapid Recovery for On-Premise & Cloud Workloads

cirrusgo is an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner dedicated to helping businesses achieve operational excellence and resilience in the cloud. We specialize in providing fully managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), protecting your critical on-premises and cloud workloads by leveraging the power of AWS. Our philosophy is rooted in customer obsession, delivering tailored solutions with a flexible, expert-led approach.

Key Features & Benefits:

Free 1-Hour DR Assessment: Start with a complimentary, no-obligation assessment with our AWS-certified architects to evaluate your current DR posture and identify key risks and opportunities.

Hybrid Environment Protection: Seamlessly replicate workloads from physical data centers, VMware, or other clouds to a low-cost, secure staging area in your AWS account using AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS).

Aggressive RTO/RPO: Achieve Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) of minutes and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) of seconds, minimizing data loss and business disruption during an outage.

Cost-Optimized Solution: Eliminate the capital expense and operational overhead of a secondary DR site. Our pay-as-you-go model means you only pay for recovery resources when a disaster is declared.

Fully Managed Service & Support: Our global team of experts provides end-to-end management, including initial setup, configuration, non-disruptive testing, and 24/7 monitoring and support.

Security & Compliance by Design: Built on the AWS Well-Architected Framework, our service ensures your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, helping you meet your security and compliance requirements.

Business Continuity Guaranteed: We create detailed runbooks and conduct regular, non-disruptive DR drills to ensure your plan works as expected, giving you complete peace of mind.

How It Works:

Assess & Design (Free 1-Hour Assessment): We start by understanding your business requirements, RTO/RPO goals, and existing infrastructure. Our experts then design a customized, cost-effective DR strategy on AWS.

Deploy & Replicate: We configure AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) and install the lightweight AWS Replication Agent on your source servers. Your machines are then continuously and securely replicated to a low-cost staging area in your chosen AWS Region.

Test & Validate: We conduct non-disruptive DR drills by launching recovery instances on AWS for testing, without impacting your live operations or breaking the replication chain. This ensures your DR plan is always ready.

Recover & Operate: In the event of a disaster, we initiate a rapid failover to AWS, launching thousands of servers in their fully provisioned state in minutes. We provide full support to get your business back online swiftly.

Use Cases & Customer Success:

On-Premise to Cloud DR: A large manufacturing enterprise with a VMware-based data center needed to replace its expensive secondary DR site. Cirrusgo implemented a DRaaS solution to AWS, reducing their annual DR costs by 60% while improving their RTO from 24 hours to under 30 minutes.

Ransomware Resilience for SMBs: A regional law firm with critical client data on-premise was hit with a ransomware attack. Using Cirrusgo’s DRaaS, they were able to failover to a clean point-in-time on AWS within minutes, avoiding the ransom payment and restoring full operations with minimal data loss.

Cross-Region Cloud Resilience: A SaaS company running its application on AWS needed to ensure high availability for its global customers. Cirrusgo configured a cross-region DR strategy, allowing for automated failover between AWS regions to protect against regional service disruptions.
