AWS Disaster Recovery As A Service For An APAC Industrial Group

On-Premises Workloads: The customer has production servers hosted in Equinix DC and on-premises, which require a reliable disaster recovery solution to ensure the continuity of critical business operations.

Existing EMC Solution: The current EMC recovery point solution may have limitations or insufficient capabilities to meet The customer evolving disaster recovery requirements. It is essential to explore alternative solutions that offer enhanced features and scalability.

Business Continuity: The customer needs a robust disaster recovery solution that can minimize downtime and data loss during a disaster event, ensuring uninterrupted business operations and minimizing the impact on customers and stakeholders.

Druva Phoenix’s Disaster Recovery Module: By leveraging Druva Phoenix’s Disaster Recovery module, the customer can achieve comprehensive data protection and disaster recovery capabilities. This module offers features such as continuous backup, replication, and recovery for on-premises workloads.

Risk assessment, including a process of identifying, assessing, and preparing for potential risks and disasters that could impact to Amartha’s operation. The goal was to minimize the negative effects of disasters and ensure a swift recovery

Infrastructure redundancy, creating backup systems, resources, and processes to ensure that essential services and operations can continue even if a primary infrastructure component fails due to a disaster or any other unexpected event. The goal was to minimize downtime, maintain business continuity, and reduce the impact of disruptions

Data backup, creating copies of Amartha’s important data and storing them in a secure location (another cloud) so that if your primary data becomes inaccessible due to a disaster or any other event, Amartha can restore the systems and continue operations using the backup data.

Business continuity management, 
a comprehensive approach that encompasses strategies, plans, and processes designed to ensure an organization’s ability to continue its critical operations and provide essential services even in the face of disruptive events, such as disasters, emergencies, or crises

Staff training, ensuring that Amartha can effectively respond to recover from unexpected events. Properly trained Amartha’s staff can play a significant role in minimizing downtime, data loss, and disruptions during a disaster.

Partnerships with relevant stakeholders, as well as collaborating with external vendors of applications, agencies, and groups. This would significantly enhance disaster preparedness and recovery efforts

Seamless Transition: Since the customer is already a consumer of Druva’s services, extending their usage to include the Disaster Recovery module allows for a seamless transition to a cloud-based DR infrastructure. This avoids the need for significant changes or disruptions to the existing setup.

Robust Data Protection: Replicating on-premises workloads to the AWS Cloud through Druva Phoenix ensures robust data protection. AWS provides a reliable and scalable infrastructure with high availability and fault tolerance, minimizing the risk of data loss and downtime.

Quick Recovery: In the event of a disaster, the replicated workloads in the AWS Cloud can be quickly recovered, enabling rapid restoration of critical systems and applications. This helps to meet the defined recovery time objectives (RTO) and minimize the impact on business operations.

Potential Replacement of EMC Solution: The proposed solution can potentially replace the existing EMC recovery point solution, offering a more efficient and cost-effective alternative with enhanced features and scalability.

Business Continuity: By implementing the DRaaS solution with Druva Phoenix and AWS Cloud, the customer can ensure business continuity. The solution provides robust data protection, quick recovery, and the ability to maintain operations during a disaster event.

VPN Connectivity: The proposed solution on AWS Cloud includes VPN connectivity, enabling users to access their applications securely in the event of a DR invocation. This ensures that employees can continue their work without disruption, even when the primary infrastructure is affected.

The proposed solution leveraging Druva Phoenix’s Disaster Recovery module and AWS Cloud offers the customer a comprehensive, scalable, and cost-effective disaster recovery solution. It enables seamless transition, robust data protection, quick recovery, business continuity, secure VPN connectivity, and potential cost savings while simplifying management and ensuring compliance and security.
