Powerful backup, reliable recovery

AI-driven recovery that runs
itself, in the right order

When something breaks, automated orchestration brings each application back in its original
state: database first, then the app, the web tier and the network, then checks that everything
works.
Orchestration
AI-driven, automated recovery
A recovery plan runs on its own when an outage is confirmed, in dependency order, against your RTO.
  • Automated failover
  • Dependency-aware start order
  • Health checks before users return
Recovery-orchestration
Immutable storage
Backups nobody can tamper with
Workloads back up to hardened on-prem repositories and are duplicated in UnitedLayer data centers, locked for the full retention period.
  • Hardened on-prem repository
  • Duplicate in a UnitedLayer DC
  • Tamper-proof until retention ends

Multi-Modal Failover (MMF)

Different disruptions. The
right way back for each.

    Questions

    What teams ask before they start

    What is Multi-Modal Failover?

    Multi-Modal Failover (MMF) gives you more than one way to recover, so each kind of disruption, such as a site outage, a network cut or ransomware, gets the recovery path that suits it.

    What is Multi-Point Availability?

    Multi-Point Availability (MPA) keeps redundant recovery points in multiple locations, so recovery continues even if one location is affected.

    How are backups protected from ransomware?

    Workloads are backed up to hardened on-prem repositories and duplicated in UnitedLayer data centers. Both copies are immutable: they cannot be changed or deleted for their whole retention period.

    Can we choose our RTO and RPO?

    Yes. Recovery objectives are flexible and set to what each application needs.

    Does it work with our cloud strategy?

    Yes. DRaaS is compatible with hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

    How do you know recovery will work?

    We monitor 24/7, test recovery regularly and tune performance, so the plan is proven before you need it.
