Multi-Cloud Disaster Recovery
Break your dependence on a single vendor and a single site. F9 Infotech designs disaster recovery architectures that span clouds and regions — matched to the RTO/RPO each workload actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all standby environment.
A single-vendor, single-site DR plan is a single point of failure
Many enterprises discover their disaster recovery plan has the same weakness as the system it's meant to protect: one vendor, one data center, one dependency. A regional outage, a vendor-side failure, or a ransomware event that reaches your backups can take both production and recovery down together.
F9 Infotech designs DR architectures that span clouds, regions, and — where useful — an isolated, hibernated recovery tier that ransomware and regional outages can't reach.
Four DR strategies, matched to what each workload needs
Higher resilience costs more to run — the right answer is rarely "the most expensive tier for everything."
Backup & Restore
Lowest cost, longest recovery — data backed up, infrastructure rebuilt on failure.
Pilot Light
Core systems idle in a second site or cloud, scaled up only when needed.
Zero-Compute, Cyber-Resilient DR
F9 Infotech's approach — hibernated, isolated recovery data with compute activated only on demand.
Warm Standby
A scaled-down but fully running copy of production, ready to take load quickly.
Multi-Site Active/Active
Full production capacity running in two or more locations simultaneously.
A three-tier architecture, not a single failover copy
Most F9 Infotech engagements combine three tiers rather than picking just one — layering cost efficiency with genuine cyber resilience.
Active Production
Your live environment, wherever it runs — AWS, Azure, Nutanix, or hybrid — instrumented for continuous replication.
Warm DR Replication
A second site or region with continuous data replication, ready to take over within minutes if production fails.
Zero-Compute Hibernated Tier
Recoverable data kept isolated and hibernated — protected from ransomware that reaches production and DR alike — with compute activated only when genuinely needed.
From risk assessment to a tested, running DR architecture
Assess RTO/RPO needs
Classify workloads by business impact and define the recovery targets each one actually requires.
Design the DR architecture
Match each workload to the right tier — backup and restore, pilot light, warm standby, active/active, or Zero-Compute.
Implement & replicate
Stand up replication, isolated recovery storage, and failover automation across sites or clouds.
Test & validate
Run failover drills and document actual recovery times — not just theoretical ones.
Deliverables from every engagement
- Business impact & RTO/RPO assessment — every workload classified by criticality and mapped to a recovery target.
- DR architecture design — a documented, multi-tier recovery plan matched to your actual risk profile.
- Replication & failover implementation — configured across sites, regions, or clouds as needed.
- Isolated Zero-Compute recovery tier — where appropriate, a ransomware-resilient third line of defense.
- Tested failover runbook — validated through actual failover drills, with documented recovery times.
DR designed by people who've run a real failover
F9 Infotech's resilience architecture isn't theoretical — it's the same three-tier, Zero-Compute DR approach delivered for enterprise clients running mission-critical, always-on operations. Because our architects also handle the migration and landing zone work, your DR design is built around your actual environment from day one, not bolted on afterward as a separate project.
