Key Features
Warm is where most midsize businesses land
Cold, warm and hot tiers are all available, and warm is the most popular choice for mid-sized organisations because it balances recovery time against cost. Within warm there are staged options, so RTO and RPO can be matched to budget rather than chosen from two extremes.
The runbook is part of the service
Veeam and VMware engineers work with your team to build the failover environment and a written disaster recovery runbook. The runbook is what turns a replicated environment into a recoverable business — and it is the artefact most in-house DR projects never finish.
Failover testing every year, included
Yearly failover testing is included in all warm plans, used to exercise the secondary environment, update the runbook, or work through scenarios with the engineers. Untested DR is a hypothesis, and this is what converts it into a capability.
Continuous replication
Replication runs continuously rather than on a nightly cycle, which is what keeps the recovery point tight enough for the tier you have chosen.
Geographically separated
Multi-region and multi-zone availability puts the recovery environment somewhere the primary event cannot reach — the requirement that in-house DR to a second office frequently fails.
Self-managed or fully managed
Organisations with capable infrastructure teams can run it themselves on the platform; those without can hand over operation entirely. The choice can also change as the team does.
Secure seeding and compliance
Replication is seeded securely, resting data is protected, and compliance requirements are met on the provider's cloud platform rather than being your problem to solve separately.
Certified engineers behind it
The engineering team holds multiple VMware and Veeam accreditations, which matters because DR failures are usually configuration failures rather than product failures.

Related Services
Managed Private & Hybrid Cloud
VMware, OpenStack and Azure environments run as a managed service, hosted in CloudFirst locations, a third-party data centre or on your own floor. Right-sizing happens at build time rather than after the first invoice, which is where most cloud cost creep starts.
Ransomware Data Recovery
Standby Recover for best-effort recovery on shared resources, Reserved Recover for guaranteed RTO and RPO on dedicated capacity, and a separate IBM path for AS/400 workloads. The tier is chosen per workload, so non-critical systems are not paying for guarantees they do not need.
Immutable Backup & Data Protection
Veeam-based backup for servers, endpoints, Microsoft 365 and Salesforce, encrypted in transit and at rest in an immutable repository. Backups that ransomware cannot alter are the difference between a recovery and a negotiation.
Virtual Desktops — VDI & DaaS
Virtual desktop estates on Omnissa, formerly VMware Horizon, with GPU-backed images where the workload needs it and all VMware and Windows licensing handled by the provider. Fits BYOD programmes and seasonal headcount, where seats have to spin up and down without a hardware cycle.
