Hope for the best, plan for the worst. A disaster recovery plan ensures your business can bounce back quickly if anything goes wrong during your office move.
Every backup is verified and test-restored before the move begins. If data is lost in transit, we can recover everything.
Documented step-by-step rollback procedures allow us to restore service at the old premises if the new site encounters critical failures.
Clear recovery time objectives for every critical system, so you know exactly how quickly service will be restored in any scenario.
An office move concentrates more IT risk into a few days than most businesses face in a year. Servers are powered down, driven across town and powered back up. Networks are reconfigured. Phone systems change location. Any of these steps can go wrong. A disaster recovery plan ensures that when something does go wrong - because in complex projects, something always does - your business recovers quickly and cleanly. Cloudswitched develops move-specific disaster recovery plans that complement your existing business continuity arrangements. We define recovery time objectives for each critical system, verify that all backups are restorable, document rollback procedures and test recovery paths before the move begins.
We perform full backups of every server, verify their integrity, and store copies both locally and in the cloud. At least one backup is test-restored to confirm recoverability.
We plan for specific failure scenarios - server will not boot, RAID array degraded, ISP not ready, data corruption - with a documented recovery procedure for each one.
For each critical system, we define a target recovery time and ensure the necessary resources, procedures and spare equipment are in place to meet it.
Yes. An office move is one of the highest-risk IT events your business will experience. A DR plan costs a fraction of the losses you would face from an unplanned multi-day outage.
This is a move-specific supplement to your existing plan. It addresses the unique risks of the relocation period and integrates with your standard backup and recovery arrangements.
Yes. We maintain multiple backup copies throughout the move process - local, cloud and offsite - ensuring that data can be recovered regardless of what happens to the physical hardware.
With verified backups and pre-positioned replacement hardware, we can typically restore a critical server within two to four hours. Less critical systems may take up to eight hours.
We simulate a failure scenario - typically a server restore from backup to temporary hardware - to verify that the recovery procedure works end-to-end before the move begins.
