It provides failover in the aftermath of man-made or natural catastrophes. Cloud4C’s 4-way DR framework across multiple regions or cloud availability zones makes it a unique offering. Due to this, all enterprise IT workloads and databases are synchronized and auto-copied across 4 locations with varying degrees of military-grade security and connectivity. It happens irrespective of the infrastructure located on cloud, on-prem, or third-party data center, or a hybrid multi-cloud framework.
96% of organizations have experienced at least one outage in the past 3 years
Only 50% of businesses test their disaster recovery strategy at least annually
Operational Resilience and Business Continuity on AWS Cloud
Downtime costs for most data center-dependent businesses are rising faster than average. 93% of companies without disaster recovery plans go out of business within one year of a disaster event
Cloud4C, to date, has provided Disaster recovery as service solutions to more than 600+ companies worldwide, implementing the 4-way Disaster Recovery architecture for maximum availability and near zero downtime. DRaaS with AWS is cost-effective compared to the benefits it offers. It is a constructive offering over many traditional models. With AWS DRaaS you’ll avoid unnecessary expenses like buying and licensing your servers, along with hardware and software. Cloud4C will also take care of maintenance hence reducing additional expenses.
Many enterprises opt for AWS Cloud-based disaster recovery model because it offers high availability storage, networking and file synchronization, auto data replication, and duplication properties along with automated backup and recovery. Businesses can implement it in their architecture irrespective of the cloud storage environment.

Develop an Appropriate AWS Disaster Recovery Strategy
Cloud4C, an experienced AWS Advanced Consulting Partner who understands your business requirements can develop an AWS disaster recovery planning strategy specifically tailored to address your operational needs. Depending on the criticality of data and applications, RTO and RPO requirements (RTO refers to the maximum length of time that your given application can be offline.
RPO refers to the maximum acceptable duration of time during which data may be lost from your application due to any major incident. ) one or more of the following methods may be employed. Additionally, we can provide guidance regarding backup methods (snapshots, AMIs, etc.), frequency, retention periods, locations (AWS availability zones), and pricing to help you develop the most cost-effective disaster recovery strategy.

Cloud Platform Native
(Snapshots in Multi region, Object storage replicas in Cross Region, Extended Cluster for Microservices)
OEM Certified Replication
Tools
(SQL Always on, Log Shipping, SRS, HRS, Oracle Data Gaurd, File Sync)
This involves a quick Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Hot DR is ideally used and absolutely vital for Mission Critical applications such as core financial and banking applications.
Focus on applications and infrastructure with a slightly higher RPO and RTO. May involve non-core banking applications, DMS, MOSS and print and file servers.
This has a slightly higher side of data recovery time compared to the Hot and Warm DR, involving a higher RTO and RPO. Used ideally for Non Critical applications.
It involves backing up your systems and restoring them from backup in case of any disaster. We implement strategies that help reduce your backup footprint using a method of deduplicating data at each node, job, and site. As a result, you get speed backup and faster recoveries. Cloud4C is known for its global deduplication systems that efficiently execute bare metal recoveries.

Security and Compliance during Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery is a complex and multi-faceted operation and during a disaster, all your resources and energies are focused to ensure a speedy and complete recovery. However, security attacks and data breaches are more likely to happen when you are in the most vulnerable state. That’s why it’s of paramount importance that systems and data are always secure (at rest or in transit), especially during a DR operation.
Cloud4C frameworks, methodologies, processes and people are pre-compliant with leading regulations and standards in the industry and in different geographies. This is why you can trust us to manage and augment your Business Continuity programs.

AWS Disaster Recovery as a Service - FAQs
-
What is AWS Disaster Recovery?
-
Disaster recovery on AWS refers to the resuming of the flow of data and normal operations on AWS cloud following a disaster, natural or man-made. This service helps the business regain its data, software, and other critical tools in a few minutes after a disruption event. Businesses should invest in disaster recovery to secure their operations for the future by ready drills, constant monitoring, AWS automated Disaster Recovery backup solutions, and enhance business continuity as a result. Investing in DR saves costs in the long run.
-
What is Disaster Recovery as a Service in AWS?
-
AWS Disaster Recovery as a service (DRaaS) is a cloud service model that helps an organization to back up its data and IT infrastructure in a third-party cloud computing environment and provide all the DR orchestration, all through a SaaS solution, to regain access and functionality to IT infrastructure after a disaster. Through this AWS DR-as-a-service model, an organization need not own all the resources or handle all the management for disaster recovery, instead they can rely on the service provider for end-to-end orchestration and administration of the DR site powered by AWS cloud.
Disaster recovery planning is critical to business continuity. Some of the frequent disasters that have the potential to wreak havoc on any organization are:
- Natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires and earthquakes
- Equipment failures and power outages
- Cyberattacks
-
Why is Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) important in AWS?
-
DRaaS is a fully managed disaster recovery service wherein the client need not maintain or worry about investing in a separate, redundant IT environment all on their own. AWS DRaaS allows the customer to choose a AWS-managed environment of choice on any localized area to select as a DR site. The AWS Managed Services Partner ensures complete management of the landscape end-to-end including drills, backup and recovery, and automated monitoring. In the event of a disaster at the primary site, the landscape automatically switches to the DR site without any disruption to regular operations.
-
What is the difference between backup and Disaster Recovery in AWS?
-
The process of making an extra copy or multiple copies of data to protect it is called backup. This is essential to restore data in case you encounter incidents such as accidental deletion, database corruption or an issue with a software upgrade. For these reasons, organizations invest in backup solutions.
On the other hand, Disaster Recovery on AWS refers to policies, tools and procedures for quickly reestablishing access to applications, data, and IT resources to protect an enterprise in the aftermath of natural or man-made disaster. That plan might involve switching over to a redundant set of servers and storage systems until your primary data center is functional again.
The end goal of DR is to maintain vital functions and operations with minimum downtime possible and the same includes complete secondary site maintenance, automated backup and recovery, secure monitoring, and end-to-end management from infra till application level via the AWS DRaaS offering.
-
Why should I choose AWS for Disaster Recovery Planning?
-
Disaster Recovery powered by AWS cloud or AWS DRaaS is an effective option over on-prem DR maintenance or private DR site maintenance. The benefits of cloud-powered DR site over traditional environments include:
- A fully managed DRaaS offering without any hassle from the business point of view
- Recover instantly in event of a disaster at next to nil downtime
- Streamlined testing and monitoring to run evaluations frequently
- Fully automated backup and recovery solutions
- OpEx model lowering costs of maintaining DR
