Our Solution
Managed Disaster Recovery
Managed Disaster Recovery Services: Built to Work Before You Need It.
Instead of hoping your current backup system will work during an emergency, get managed disaster recovery infrastructure that is tested, validated, and ready to execute before you ever need it. CloudSAFE delivers disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) for IBM iSeries, Linux, and Windows environments, with defined RTOs, automated failover, and 24/7 monitoring of replication health.
Without Compromise
When Disaster Strikes, Recovery Time Determines Survival
Every hour of downtime costs revenue and customer trust. When primary systems fail whether from hardware failure, ransomware, natural disaster, or human error, your recovery time is determined by decisions you made long before the incident.
Most organizations discover the gaps in their disaster recovery plan during an actual emergency. Untested backups, undefined RTOs, undocumented procedures, and compliance gaps that only surface under audit pressure.
CloudSAFE’s managed disaster recovery services eliminate those gaps before they become crises.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) means CloudSAFE manages your complete DR infrastructure with replication, failover, testing, and documentation as an ongoing managed service. You don’t build and maintain a DR environment internally. We run it for you, and we test it regularly so you know it works.
DRaaS is particularly well-suited for organizations that: have defined RTOs and RPOs but lack the internal resources to build and operate DR infrastructure; operate in regulated industries (healthcare, financial services, insurance) where DR documentation is a compliance requirement; run IBM iSeries, AIX, or other specialized platforms that most DRaaS providers don’t support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS)?
Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) is a managed service in which a third-party provider (in this case, CloudSAFE) builds, operates, and tests your disaster recovery infrastructure. Rather than maintaining an internal DR environment, you pay a predictable monthly fee for a fully managed DR capability with defined RTOs, regular testing, and 24/7 replication monitoring.
How does CloudSAFE support IBM iSeries disaster recovery?
CloudSAFE is one of the few managed DR providers with deep IBM iSeries expertise. We manage Assure MIMIX, QuickEDD, and iTERA implementations for real-time replication and automated IBM i failover. IBM iSeries disaster recovery is a core capability, not an edge case we accommodate reluctantly.
What is a realistic RTO for a managed DR environment?
RTOs vary based on your environment complexity, data volumes, and the replication technology in use. For IBM i environments using MIMIX, RTOs of under 2 hours are standard. For Windows and Linux environments using Veeam or Zerto, RTOs can be as low as minutes. We define your specific RTO during Phase 1 and validate it through regular testing.
How often does CloudSAFE test our DR environment?
Testing frequency is defined in your service agreement. Most clients conduct quarterly DR tests at minimum. CloudSAFE manages the test planning, execution, and documentation, including any findings that require remediation before the next test.
Does CloudSAFE’s DR service satisfy HIPAA and financial services regulatory requirements?
CloudSAFE’s managed disaster recovery services are designed to support compliance with HIPAA, FINRA, SOC 2, and similar frameworks. We provide documented RTO/RPO definitions, tested recovery procedures, and audit-ready reporting. Regulatory requirements vary; we recommend reviewing your specific requirements with your compliance team during the assessment phase.
