Key Recovery Metrics

Understanding RTO & RPO

Two numbers that define how resilient your business truly is — and how quickly you get back to normal after any disaster.

Recovery Time Objective

RTO

Our Target Under 4 Hours

How quickly can your systems be restored after an outage? We design virtualised failover environments that spin up within minutes — dramatically reducing revenue loss and reputational damage.

Recovery Point Objective

RPO

Our Target As Low as 15 Minutes

How much data can your business afford to lose? Our automated snapshot technology captures changes every 15 minutes — meaning you never lose more than a quarter-hour of critical business data, even in a worst-case scenario.
