AWS Disaster Recovery Plan
Your business cannot stop
At BigCheese, we know that every minute of downtime can mean significant losses. As an AWS Premier Partner, we offer Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP) that ensure your operations never stop, no matter what.
Our Process
Business Needs Assessment
We analyze your specific workloads and needs to design an appropriate DRP plan.
Strategy Development
We create a DRP architecture based on your RTO and RPO objectives.
Implementation and Testing
We deploy a pilot solution to validate effectiveness and conduct extensive testing to ensure reliability.
Full Deployment
We implement the complete solution, ensuring a smooth transition and minimal disruption.
An inactive business not only loses revenue, but also the trust of its customers, a reputation that takes years to build and only an instant to lose.
Our DRP plans
Our plans are designed to minimize downtime and protect your company’s reputation, ensuring that you never lose the trust of your customers.
1. Backup & Recovery
The foundation of any continuity strategy. Ideal for companies looking for a cost-effective solution to protect their data, with flexible recovery times.
Recovery in 3 to 12 hours. Suitable for businesses with longer data loss tolerance and recovery time.
2. DRP Multi-AZ High Availability
Keep your business operational even during significant outages. This strategy uses multiple availability zones to provide high availability.
RPO and RTO depending on the needs, with the capacity to handle zonal failures without interrupting service.
3. DRP less than 1 hour
For businesses that can’t afford more than an hour of downtime. We implement a“warm standby” infrastructure that is quickly activated in the event of a disaster.
RTO of 1 hour with minimum RPO. Ideal for operations requiring early recovery.
4. Real-Time DRP (Real-Time DRP)
Real-Time DRP is the most advanced solution available for companies that cannot afford any interruption in their operations. This option is designed for organizations that manage critical services, where continuous availability is critical to the business. With a real-time replication architecture, data and services are instantly replicated across multiple geographic regions.
Virtually Nonexistent RTO and RPO: This strategy offers near-zero recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO), meaning that both recovery time and potential data loss are minimal to non-existent.
Ideal for Critical Services: This plan is perfect for companies operating in industries where constant availability is critical, such as finance, healthcare, e-commerce and telecommunications.
What is a DRP?
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) provides tools and strategies for a fast and reliable recovery of infrastructure resources and services in the event of a disruption of any of these.
RPO. Recovery Point Objective.
The RPO is the maximum acceptable time since the last data recovery point. This determines what is considered an acceptable data loss between the last recovery point and a service interruption.
RTO. Recovery Time Objective.
The RTO is the maximum acceptable delay between service interruption and service restoration. This value determines an acceptable duration during which the service is affected.

FAQS
Quick answers to your questions
What is a Disaster Recovery Plan?
A DRP is a set of policies and procedures designed to ensure the rapid and efficient recovery of technology infrastructure and critical services after a disaster or major disruption.
What does RTO mean in the context of a Disaster Recovery Plan?
The RTO, or Recovery Time Objective, is the maximum acceptable time that can elapse between an outage and service restoration. It defines how long a system can be down before it causes significant damage to the business.
What is RPO in a Disaster Recovery Plan?
The RPO, or Recovery Point Objective, is the maximum acceptable time of data loss since the last backup. It indicates the amount of data an organization can afford to lose in the event of a failure.
What are the differences between a Disaster Recovery Plan and a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)?
A DRP focuses on the recovery of IT infrastructure and data after a disaster, while a BCP encompasses all aspects of the business, ensuring that critical operations continue during and after a disruption.
What types of Disaster Recovery Plan strategies exist?
DRP strategies include Backup and Recovery, Multi-AZ High Availability, Warm Standby Infrastructure for rapid recovery and real-time replication for instant recovery.
What is data replication in the context of a DRP?
Data replication involves copying data from one system to another in different geographic locations to ensure its availability in the event of an outage at the primary site.
How is a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) conducted for a DRP?
A BIA assesses critical business functions, identifying the potential impacts of disruptions and setting priorities for recovery based on the criticality of operations.
Why is it important to regularly test the DRP?
Regular testing of the DRP is crucial to verify the effectiveness of the plan, identify areas for improvement and ensure that personnel are prepared to act in the event of a real disaster.
What is a recovery site and what types are there?
A recovery site is an alternate location where operations can resume after a disaster. Types include cold sites (minimal infrastructure), hot sites (fully duplicated and operational infrastructure), and warm sites (minimal but rapidly activatable infrastructure).
How is the best DRP strategy selected for a company?
Selection depends on several factors, including cost, criticality of operations, RTO and RPO requirements, regulation and compliance, and existing infrastructure. A detailed analysis of business needs and associated risks is recommended to determine the most appropriate strategy.
