Azure Disaster Recovery in the UK for Healthcare & Medical

Backup protects individual patient records, clinical notes, and diagnostic imagery against loss or corruption. Disaster recovery replicates your entire EMIS, SystmOne, and clinical platforms environment to a secondary location, enabling rapid failover of all healthcare provider operations if the primary site becomes unavailable.

For most healthcare, we achieve RTOs of one to four hours and RPOs of minutes using Azure Site Recovery. Exact targets depend on your healthcare provider's specific requirements and are agreed during the DR planning phase.

We recommend quarterly DR tests for healthcare and conduct them without disrupting production. Each test produces a documented report confirming recovery success, which supports CQC, NHS DSPT, and GDPR audit requirements.

Yes. We replicate EMIS, SystmOne, and clinical platforms environments along with underlying databases, file shares, and network configurations. DR testing validates that EMIS, SystmOne, and clinical platforms function correctly after failover, ensuring your healthcare provider 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 healthcare provider systems and using tiered protection levels.
