More from CloudFirst
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.
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.
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.
Cold, warm and hot DRaaS on Veeam and VMware, self-managed or fully managed, with continuous replication, a written runbook and annual failover testing. Warm is the usual mid-market choice because it trades a modest RTO for a much smaller standing bill.
