F2Cloud Recovery

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Preparing and testing an alternative runtime for critical applications, including networking, security and recovery order.

Live flow

  • Protection flow
  • Restore

Protect → prepare recovery → start in dependency order → switch traffic

Source environment VM · data · application F2Cloud recovery Prepared capacity Network + security Firewall · VPN · DNS Business application Health validation ← Restore from a verified copy

Conceptual animation; real throughput and volume depend on your agreed scope.

01What this service means

Not just servers online. Business back in motion.

The ERP starts but users cannot connect. The database runs but orders do not flow. Recovery is bigger than a server.

Outputs of the agreed scope

A dependency map, recovery runbook, RPO/RTO targets and measured results from the exercise agreed in scope.

Important boundary

A 30-minute RTO is a target only for eligible, prepared and tested workloads, not a blanket guarantee.

02F2Cloud Recovery / Service flow

Systems stop. A prepared environment takes over.

Protect → prepare recovery → start in dependency order → switch traffic

Outcome: Workloads are protected.

  1. At this stage

    Backups or supported replication updates flow to F2Cloud.

  2. At this stage

    Recovery network, security and capacity stay defined and ready.

  3. At this stage

    Workloads start in dependency order; network and security services come online.

  4. At this stage

    Traffic moves via DNS/GSLB and application health checks run.

RTO and RPO are project-specific targets measured in exercises. Recovery time requires preparation and application validation.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) lets you run critical workloads in a prepared cloud environment without building a second data center. F2Cloud Recovery focuses not just on powering on VMs, but on your business actually serving again.

The recovery environment is designed in advance: compute capacity, recovery network, firewall and VPN configuration, routing and DNS/GSLB transition. We call this a digital-twin-style functional recovery architecture.

For specifically eligible, prepared and tested workloads, a target RTO down to 30 minutes can be designed. It is a target, not a guarantee for every system, and it is validated through exercises.

Technical scope and limits

  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective): how quickly service should return. RPO (Recovery Point Objective): how much data loss is acceptable. They are separate targets.
  • The 30-minute target RTO applies only to eligible, prepared and tested workloads; it is not a guarantee.
  • Infrastructure startup and full business application availability are different stages; validation uses application health checks.

Frequently asked questions

What is DRaaS?

Disaster Recovery as a Service runs your critical systems in a provider's prepared cloud environment during a disaster, delivered as a managed service.

Is a 30-minute recovery possible?

For eligible, prepared and tested workloads, a target RTO down to 30 minutes can be designed. It isn't guaranteed for every system and is validated through exercises.

Is DRaaS a sensible alternative to a second data center?

For many organisations the hardware, licence, connectivity and staffing cost of a second site exceeds a monthly DRaaS service. Decide based on critical workloads and target RTO/RPO.
