Tested disaster recovery plans that keep your aviation organisation operational when the unexpected strikes.
We conduct regular DR drills to verify your failover works as expected — not just on paper, but in practice with real recovery tests.
Recovery time objectives measured in minutes, not hours. Azure Site Recovery enables near-instant failover of critical workloads.
Replicate between UK South and UK West Azure regions to maintain data sovereignty while achieving geographic separation.
Cloudswitched delivers Azure disaster recovery services for UK aviation & aerospace. We design failover architectures using Azure Site Recovery, configure replication for maintenance records, flight logs, and parts traceability data, and conduct regular DR tests. Your aviation organisation receives documented recovery runbooks with defined RTO and RPO targets aligned to CAA, EASA, and AS9100 standards expectations.
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
We design your recovery architecture around your specific RTO and RPO requirements, selecting the right Azure services and replication methods for each workload.
Recovery plans are scripted and automated so failover can be initiated with a single action, executing in the correct sequence with dependency management.
We schedule and execute non-disruptive failover tests at least quarterly, producing reports that confirm your recovery plan works and meets your objectives.
Recovery time and recovery point objectives set specifically for your aviation organisation, ensuring maintenance records, flight logs, and parts traceability data can be restored within the timeframes your business demands.
Azure Site Recovery replicates MRO systems, flight planning, and parts management environments to a secondary region, enabling automatic failover when primary systems fail without manual intervention.
Scheduled failover tests validate your aviation organisation's recovery plan works as documented, with detailed reports confirming compliance with CAA, EASA, and AS9100 standards requirements.
Step-by-step recovery procedures ensure any team member can initiate disaster recovery for your aviation organisation, reducing dependence on individual staff knowledge.

Azure Site Recovery expertise ensuring MRO systems, flight planning, and parts management environments replicate correctly
Runbook documentation enabling any team member to initiate recovery procedures
Post-incident analysis and continuous improvement of your aviation organisation DR plan

Backup protects individual maintenance records, flight logs, and parts traceability data against loss or corruption. Disaster recovery replicates your entire MRO systems, flight planning, and parts management environment to a secondary location, enabling rapid failover of all aviation organisation operations if the primary site becomes unavailable.
For most aviation & aerospace, we achieve RTOs of one to four hours and RPOs of minutes using Azure Site Recovery. Exact targets depend on your aviation organisation's specific requirements and are agreed during the DR planning phase.
We recommend quarterly DR tests for aviation & aerospace and conduct them without disrupting production. Each test produces a documented report confirming recovery success, which supports CAA, EASA, and AS9100 standards audit requirements.
Yes. We replicate MRO systems, flight planning, and parts management environments along with underlying databases, file shares, and network configurations. DR testing validates that MRO systems, flight planning, and parts management function correctly after failover, ensuring your aviation organisation can continue operating from the secondary site.
Costs depend on the number of protected VMs and data volume replicated. Azure Site Recovery pricing is straightforward at a per-instance monthly fee plus storage. We optimise by prioritising critical aviation organisation systems and using tiered protection levels.
