Experience State-of-the-Art Security and Continuity: Bolster your Continuity Plan with GCP Disaster Recovery Solutions
In lack of disaster recovery strategy, unprecedented downtimes can cause significant losses for your business. It has been a major challenge for businesses big and small. In such scenarios, Disaster Recovery as a Service can best guarantee the safety and security of data. Cloud4C, a world-leading application-focussed Cloud MSP and a trusted Google Cloud Platform consulting partner offer DRaaS solution on the Google Cloud to help companies achieve this goal.
Through Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) on Google Cloud, we replicate and host physical and/or virtual servers, databases, and workloads. Cloud4C’s unique 4-way DR framework ensures high-level business continuity as all data is auto-copied across 4 locations. It effectively reduces downtime during natural and man-made disasters helping the business maintain better productivity.
The average cost of downtime varies between $260,000/hour to $1 million/hour
93% of companies without disaster recovery plans go out of business within one year of a disaster event
UN warns: 560 disasters yearly by 2030. Recovery is key.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Disaster Recovery As a Service - The Key to Achieve Uninterrupted Growth
DRaaS on GCP is an effective strategy to help enterprises find better availability, security, and scalability. Cloud4C offers a high-end DR-as-a-Service solution designed to reduce downtimes and improve the recovery period.
Google Cloud Platform’s disaster recovery model adds high availability storage, networking and file
synchronization, auto data replication, and duplication properties along with automated backup and recovery. Cloud4C helps plan, blueprint, implement, and manage every aspect of the DRaaS architecture to make it cost-effective, compliance-ready, and scalable.

Minimal Downtime
With Cloud4C GCP Disaster Recovery as a Service, enterprises can reduce their downtime and data loss exposure for critical business functions. GCP Disaster Recovery offers high-end capabilities that can eliminate downtime exponentially.
Avoid Data Loss
Loss of data will not only cause financial damage but will also kill your reputation in the market. Enterprises can seldom recover from issues like these. With GCP Disaster Recovery Strategy, you’ll find the best way to ensure that not even the smallest fraction of data is lost during a disaster irrespective of the threat’s nature.
Lower CAPEX
A significant reason why GCP DR Solution from Cloud4C is highly sought-after is that it provides cost-effective measures without dipping the quality. With us, enterprises can also take advantage of the pay-per-use model. It is a better way to manage expenses compared to buying the complete suite. It doesn’t restrict them when it comes to expansion, and they can make modifications to full capacity whenever required.
No Business Interruptions
Business interruption harms business growth and employee productivity. Events like floods, fires, earthquakes, and even man-made errors can halt internal and external operations. A disaster recovery setup would ensure that your operations continue without pausing your business. It will also allow a better transition between the cohesive business units to get back on track.
Protect Mission Critical Applications
GCP Cloud Disaster Recovery strategy offers best in class security and high standard compliance related to cryptographic algorithms, key management and data encryption. Cloud4C and our team of experts ensure the safeguarding of mission-critical applications while minimizing interruption of critical processes.

Develop The Best GCP Disaster Recovery Strategy
Cloud4C, a trusted Google Cloud migration, modernization, and management partner, holds long-term expertise for developing a disaster recovery planning strategy. Every solution is specifically tailored to address specific and situational operational requirements.
The strategy is developed keeping the criticality of data and applications, RTO (maximum length of time that your given application can be offline), and RPO ( maximum acceptable duration of time during which data may be lost from an application ) requirements in mind. Additionally, we can guide backup methods (snapshots, AMIs, etc.), frequency, retention periods, locations (Google Cloud availability zones), and pricing to help you develop the most cost-effective disaster recovery strategy on GCP.
Cloud4C Expertise in DRaaS Tools and Services
Cloud Platform Native
(Snapshots in Multi region, Object storage replicas in Cross Region, Extended Cluster for Microservices)
OEM Certified Replication
Tools
(SQL Always on, Log Shipping, SRS, HRS, Oracle Data Gaurd, File Sync)
This involves a quick Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Hot DR is ideally used and absolutely vital for Mission Critical applications such as core financial and banking applications.
Focus on applications and infrastructure with a slightly higher RPO and RTO. May involve non-core banking applications, DMS, MOSS and print and file servers.
This has a slightly higher side of data recovery time compared to the Hot and Warm DR, involving a higher RTO and RPO. Used ideally for Non Critical applications.
It involves backing up your systems and restoring them from backup in case of any disaster. We implement strategies that help reduce your backup footprint using a method of deduplicating data at each node, job, and site. As a result, you get speed backup and faster recoveries. Cloud4C is known for its global deduplication systems that efficiently execute bare metal recoveries.

Security and Compliance during Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery is a complex and multi-faceted operation and during a disaster, all your resources and energies are focused to ensure a speedy and complete recovery. However, security attacks and data breaches are more likely to happen when you are in the most vulnerable state. That’s why it’s of paramount importance that systems and data are always secure (at rest or in transit), especially during a DR operation.
Cloud4C frameworks, methodologies, processes and people are pre-compliant with leading regulations and standards in the industry and in different geographies. This is why you can trust us to manage and augment your Business Continuity programs.

GCP Draas - FAQs
-
What is Disaster Recovery in GCP?
-
Disaster Recovery in GCP is the historical point from where businesses restore their data which has been hosted on Google Cloud Platform.
This mechanism helps the company resume its operations in time if a disaster, natural or man-made, happens.
Disaster Recovery in GCP is an accurate means of avoiding financial and reputational damage due to data loss.
-
Why should I choose Google Cloud for Disaster Recovery Planning?
-
Google Cloud can significantly reduce the costs associated with RTO (recovery time objective) and RPO (Recovery point objective) compared to achieving RTO and RPO requirements on-premises.
DR on Google Cloud offers strong redundancy, better scalability and agility, and a chance to host your infrastructure on a global network.
It ensures that your business will easily recover from unexpected downtimes during a natural or a man-made disaster.
