Data Backup and Recovery

At Ocean Solutions, we know data is the most valuable asset for any business. That’s why we provide comprehensive data protection and availability through modern backup and disaster recovery solutions tailored to your specific recovery objectives.

Our multi-step approach begins by fully inventorying and classifying your business-critical systems, servers, cloud solutions, devices, and data sets. Risk assessments, Business Impact Analysis, We then analyze each to determine appropriate recovery time (RTO) and recovery point (RPO) objectives based on the impact of potential data loss.

With your RTOs and RPOs established, we architect a tiered data backup plan aligned to the unique needs of each system and data set. For maximum resilience, we employ a defense-in-depth model utilizing onsite backups, offsite replication, and cloud-based availability zones.

For onsite backup, we deploy secure, scalable appliances offering capabilities like compression, deduplication, air-gapped immutability, versioning, and longevity. Offsite, backups are replicated to a provider like AWS, Backblaze, Client managed Colo, and Azure for geographic diversity. Near real-time data, mirroring replicates critical databases and systems.

Our Plans

We architect the appropriate recovery tiers for each of your core systems

Tier 1

Critical transactional systems are replicated in near real-time with standby infrastructure for recovery within minutes, using best-in-class solutions like Veeam, and VMware SRM.

Tier 2

Essential infrastructure has 12-hour or less RTOs utilizing onsite and cloud backup locations, using scale-out repository styles with immutable protection.

Tier 3

Important data is backed up daily locally and offsite for RTOs under 48 hours.

Throughout implementation, we rigorously validate backup integrity through test restores on a regular basis. Our backup monitoring provides early warning of issues before they lead to failures. We assist with time-critical data restoration as needed for events like ransomware attacks, accidental deletion, or hardware failure.

At Ocean Solutions, we take an actionable, layered approach to backup and disaster recovery. Our goal is to deliver zero data loss with near-zero recovery timeframes tailored to your most essential systems. We work as an extension of your team to protect your data assets now and in the future.
