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
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.
-
At this stage
Backups or supported replication updates flow to F2Cloud.
-
At this stage
Recovery network, security and capacity stay defined and ready.
-
At this stage
Workloads start in dependency order; network and security services come online.
-
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.

Before you decide
-
Backup vs disaster recovery: what is the difference?
Backup protects data. Disaster recovery prepares the environment, dependencies and operations needed to resume the business using that data.
-
What are RPO and RTO? Defining disaster recovery targets
How much data loss is acceptable, and how long can the business stop? Answers to these different questions shape recovery architecture.

Backup and recovery for VMware, Hyper-V, KVM and Sangfor workloads
A platform list is a scope question, not a marketing label. Each hypervisor is backed up differently, and cross-platform recovery requires per-workload validation.
03What confidence is built on
Less adjectives. More accountability.
F2Cloud brings F2 Bilişim's networking, cybersecurity and virtualization engineering into a managed service model. A sound decision needs clear boundaries as well as commitments.
- 01
Written scope. Clear ownership.
Which workloads are protected? Who monitors and responds? The proposal defines architecture, included services and responsibility boundaries.

A target matters when it is measured.
RPO and RTO are set around your workloads. Recovery exercises assess applications, networking and access together. A target is not a guarantee.

Know where data lives and who can reach it.
A Turkey-hosting assessment must cover primary data, backups, logs and support access. KVKK considerations include data flows and roles, not location alone.
