Disaster Management

Prepare for disruption. Protect business continuity.

Echo’s Disaster Management service helps reduce the operational impact of unexpected disruption by keeping critical backup and recovery capabilities actively managed and ready.

We proactively monitor, maintain and review your disaster management environment, aligning services with agreed Recovery Time (RTO) and Recovery Point (RPO) objectives and the priorities defined in your disaster recovery plan.

From preventative measures and ongoing monitoring to recovery planning and testing, we help ensure your business is better prepared to respond when disruption occurs.

Be prepared before disruption becomes a crisis

Major disruptions may be relatively rare, but the consequences of prolonged downtime or an inability to restore critical systems and data can be significant. Effective disaster management therefore requires an ongoing approach to prevention, preparedness and recovery.

Echo manages in-scope backup and recovery services against agreed standards and recovery objectives. Monitoring thresholds and alerts help identify potential issues, while regular reviews ensure configurations and recovery requirements remain aligned as your technology environment changes.

From server and cloud-service backups to DR planning and testing, standby devices and server-room environmental monitoring, we help manage the capabilities needed to minimise disruption and support recovery when it matters.

Reduce the impact of disruption

Combine preventative measures, planning and recovery capabilities to strengthen operational resilience.

Align recovery with business priorities

Use agreed RTO and RPO objectives to determine recovery requirements for critical systems and data.

Test your preparedness

Regular disaster recovery simulations and testing help validate plans and identify gaps before an actual event.

Keep disaster management current

Ongoing monitoring, maintenance and reviews help ensure plans and capabilities keep pace with changing requirements.

Ideal for businesses that:

Depend on critical systems and data to maintain day-to-day operations

Want to reduce the operational and financial impact of unexpected disruption

Need clearly defined and regularly tested recovery plans for important systems and services

Want disaster preparedness to be actively managed rather than relying on plans and backups that may become outdated
