The Plan B Service provides a very fast recovery of critical IT Systems and Infrastructure (within minutes).
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) - Minutes
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) < 15 mins to 24 hours
Recovery is complete, providing working systems in a working network with firewalls setup, and DNS/MX etc switched.
Systems are recovered remotely on Plan B virtual machines (VMs) and connected to via VPN.
Whole process is automated, System recovery images are rebuilt, configured and tested to work for every snapshot (< 24 hours) and therefore Plan B Recoveries are guaranteed.
