Be prepared for your worst-case scenario, with a comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) plan that can keep your business-critical IT systems up and running. Whether you need help backing up important databases or architecting a complex replication solution across Rackspace data centers, we have the expertise, technologies and services that your plan needs.
Our DR solutions provide a first line of defense in the aftermath of a disruptive event — such as a power outage, software bug, viruses and more — to minimize any negative impact on your business.
Your customers expect your online services to be reliable and secure. When they’re not, you run the risk of losing their business to your competitors. A solid DR plan can often mean your system is back up and running before anyone even notices.
If your business processes credit cards, stores healthcare data or manages personally identifiable information, then there’s a good chance that you’re required to abide by regulatory mandates and standards, such as PCI DSS or HIPAA. Let our team help you address these compliance requirements.
"Rackspace’s agility and speed in implementing solutions made all the difference in their effectiveness in supporting our growth."

With Active-Active disaster recovery, your production and backup sites are both active and continually share the load. This provides for nearly instantaneous recovery and addresses the most stringent Recovery Point and Recovery Time Objectives (RPOs and RTOs) — providing an ideal solution for your most critical data.
With Active-Passive disaster recovery, your data is continuously backed up at a ready-to-go secondary site and can be designed to failover automatically. This solution usually costs less than Active-Active, but your site can experience some downtime while the secondary site comes online.
With Active-Replicated disaster recovery, you have peace of mind that your data is securely backed up, either offsite or onsite. This provides the lowest-cost solution, but recovery times will take longer.
