Business Continuity & Resilience on AWS

Disaster Recovery That Keeps You Running When Everything Else Doesn't. One outage, one ransomware hit, one deleted database — and the only question your board asks is 'how long until we're back?' Flentas builds tested AWS disaster recovery that answers in minutes, not days.

Four disaster-recovery strategies on AWS: backup and restore, pilot light, warm standby and multi-site active/active, with recovery time and cost
The Reality

When Being "Backed Up" Isn't Enough

A backup is not a recovery. The question is how fast you're running again, and whether anyone has proven it.

Backups exist but aren't tested

You have backups, but nobody knows how quickly you can actually recover.

Recovery depends on a few people

When something goes wrong, the right people have to figure it out under pressure.

RTOs and RPOs are still on paper

The targets look good in a document. They've never been proven in a real drill.

One outage can stop the business

A single region, database or application failure quickly becomes a customer-facing problem.

Recovery gets expensive fast

Keeping everything running in a second environment costs more than it needs to.

Ransomware reaches the backups

Attackers encrypt the copies too, so the recovery plan disappears with the production data.

Key Benefits

What Resilience Looks Like When It Matters

The question isn't whether a failure will happen — hardware dies, regions go down, and attackers get in. The question is how fast you recover, and whether you can prove it before it counts.

Business Continuity by Design

When a region fails, automated failover keeps you serving customers. No war room, no scramble — traffic reroutes and the business stays live.

Near-Zero Data Loss

Continuous replication and point-in-time recovery mean you lose seconds of transactions, not a full day of revenue and reconciliation.

Ransomware & Cyber Resilience

Immutable, isolated backups let you roll back to a clean state after an attack — instead of negotiating with attackers or rebuilding from zero.

Compliance & Audit Confidence

RBI, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 all demand a tested recovery plan. AWS-native DR gives you the evidence and audit trail regulators expect.

How It Works

The Flentas Resilience Framework: 5 Stages to Provable Recovery

Real disaster recovery isn't a backup job and a crossed set of fingers. Our Resilience Framework is a structured, repeatable methodology built from hundreds of AWS workloads — designed to give you recovery you can measure, test, and trust.

  1. 1

    Assess: Classify Workloads & Set Recovery Targets

    We start with a business impact analysis, not a tech audit. Every application is classified by criticality, and each gets an RTO and RPO agreed with the business — not guessed by IT.

  2. 2

    Architect: Design the DR Strategy & Tier Every Workload

    Each workload is matched to the right strategy — Backup & Restore, Pilot Light, Warm Standby, or Multi-Site Active/Active — balancing cost against recovery speed.

  3. 3

    Implement: Build & Automate Replication and Failover

    We build it as code. Continuous replication with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery, immutable and cross-region backups via AWS Backup, and infrastructure-as-code so the recovery environment can be stood up on demand.

  4. 4

    Test: Prove Recovery With Real Drills

    A DR plan you haven't tested is a theory. We run scheduled failover drills and game-day simulations that prove your RTO and RPO are real — and produce the audit evidence regulators and customers ask for.

  5. 5

    Operate: Monitor, Maintain & Continuously Improve

    DR isn't a project you finish — it's a posture you maintain. We monitor replication health, re-validate targets as applications change, and run recurring drills.

Technology Stack

Technologies & Tools We Use

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery

Continuous replication from on-premise, other clouds, or AWS itself into a low-cost staging area — full production environment spun up in minutes.

AWS Backup

Centralized, policy-driven protection with cross-region/cross-account copies and immutable Vault Lock storage even a compromised admin can't delete.

Commvault (Partner)

Enterprise-grade data protection beyond AWS-native — immutable, air-gapped backups across VMs, databases, SaaS, and containers, hybrid and on-prem.

DR Strategy Tiering

Backup & Restore, Pilot Light, Warm Standby, and Multi-Site Active/Active — matched per workload to balance cost against recovery speed.

Infrastructure as Code

Entire recovery environment version-controlled and reproducible on demand — no manual, drift-prone standby infrastructure.

Monitoring & Alerting

Continuous visibility into replication health, so drift is caught before it matters — not during the next audit.

Case Studies

Where Business Continuity & Resilience Makes a Difference

View all client success stories

A Recent Outage or Near-Miss

The incident that woke you at 3 AM is the cheapest DR business case you'll ever get. Act before the next one lands.

NBFC
5TBMSSQL Cluster Made Resilient on AWS

Svatantra Microfin (Aditya Birla Group) moved from co-location to AWS on EC2, ALB, and VPC — achieving high availability, horizontal scalability, and a materially stronger recovery posture with a dramatically reduced cutover window.

Ransomware in Your Industry

When a peer gets hit, the board stops asking 'if' and starts asking 'are we protected?' Have a tested answer ready.

Social Impact
First-TimeDR, Fully Serverless

Ketto, India's leading crowdfunding platform, was rebuilt on serverless architecture with automated failover, continuous backup, and first-time disaster recovery — reliability that matches the importance of the work it supports.

New Compliance Mandate

RBI, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 all require a demonstrable recovery plan. A mandate is a deadline, not a suggestion.

Fintech
Near-ZeroRPO on AWS Outposts

Moneyfellows needed PCI DSS certification, data localization, and low-latency private connectivity. Flentas delivered near-zero RPO disaster recovery with full Terraform automation — moving them from compliance risk to compliance confidence.

Cloud Migration Just Completed

You're on AWS now — but lift-and-shift rarely includes real DR. Resilience is the step most migrations quietly skip.

We had backups. We did not have disaster recovery — we found that out the hard way during a near-miss that should have been a two-hour incident and turned into a two-day scramble. Flentas rebuilt our recovery strategy around actual RTO and RPO targets the business agreed to, automated failover with Elastic Disaster Recovery, and ran a live drill before handing it back to us. The next test wasn't a fire drill. It was routine.
