Can Your Business Operate Through a Disaster?
Recover from disruptions in minutes — not days. Managed DRaaS with push-button failover, continuous replication, and white-glove migration powered by VMware vCloud Availability.
Why Managed Disaster Recovery?
Protect critical workloads with enterprise-grade DR that eliminates complexity and delivers predictable recovery outcomes.
Rapid Recovery (RTO)
Automated failover restores your environment in minutes, not hours. RTO targets are built into the solution from day one.
Data Protection (RPO)
Continuous VM replication with AES-256 encryption keeps data loss exposure within defined RPO thresholds.
Compliance Ready
Documented DR testing, automated compliance reporting, and adherence to industry security standards for audit readiness.
Predictable Cost
Move DR from unpredictable CapEx to simple monthly OpEx. No ingress or egress fees — ever.
Without DR vs. With IT Vortex DRaaS
Drag the slider to see how managed disaster recovery transforms your risk posture.
White Glove Disaster Recovery
Dedicated Project Manager
Every deployment includes a dedicated PM and hands-on engineering support from assessment through go-live.
Push-Button Failover & Failback
When disaster strikes, recovery is a single click. Automated testing ensures your DR plan works before you need it.
Self-Service Portal
Full visibility via VMware Cloud Director — monitor replication health, trigger test failovers, manage workloads on your schedule.
From Assessment to Production-Ready
A structured approach ensures your DR plan is built right the first time.
Assess Requirements
Analyze your environment, identify critical workloads, and define RTO/RPO targets to establish the recovery foundation.
Design & Configure
Architect replication topology, install vCloud Availability connectors, and configure encrypted site-to-site replication.
Seed & Validate
Initial data seeding begins within hours. Full failover and failback testing verifies every VM recovers within objectives.
Monitor & Optimize
24/7 monitoring, quarterly DR testing with documented results, and continuous optimization as your environment evolves.
How Does IT Vortex DRaaS Stack Up?

Frequently Asked Questions
Our DRaaS uses VMware vCloud Availability to continuously replicate your VMs to IT Vortex's managed private cloud. In a disaster, you trigger automated failover with a single click, bringing workloads online within your defined RTO — typically under 15 minutes.
Targets are customized to your requirements. We support near-continuous replication for near-zero RPO, and automated failover achieving RTO as low as 15 minutes depending on environment size.
Unlimited failover and failback testing is included at no extra cost. We also conduct quarterly DR tests with documented results to keep your plan validated and audit-ready.
VMware is ideal for seamless VM-level replication, but we work with other platforms too. Our assessment will evaluate your environment and recommend the optimal approach.
No. IT Vortex charges zero ingress or egress fees. Replicate data, run DR tests, and execute failovers with no hidden transfer costs.
We provide compliance-based reporting, documented test results, and encrypted replication — supporting regulatory and cyber insurance requirements across healthcare, finance, legal, and more.
Most deployments are production-ready within 1–2 weeks. Data seeding starts within hours of connector installation, with a dedicated PM keeping the timeline on track.
Yes — many clients start with DR and discover their migration is already complete. Your VMs are replicated, tested, and running on current infrastructure. When ready, the cutover is a conversation, not a project.
