Progression, through Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offering, makes sure that your IT infrastructure faces zero downtime in case of any kind of disaster. We deploy VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to ensure business continuity for your enterprise.
The DR solution is provisioned using VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and is replicated to a different geography. The SRM replicates the data from the primary site to the DR site. In the event of any disaster, the DR site is made operational immediately, or as per the recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) defined by the customers.

Process of returning an organization, society, or system to a state of normality after the
occurrence of a disastrous event.
Risk avoidance or mitigation is a critical element in the disaster recovery process.

location as per Criticality.

schedule and the Integrity of the data is maintained.
