That’s why at Intwo, we say: Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BC) aren’t about preparing for the worst. They’re about building confidence to go after the best—without second-guessing “what if.”
And if you’re running on Microsoft Azure (solid choice, by the way), you’ve already got the tools. Now it’s time to turn them into a business advantage.
Because when things go dark—and they will—it’s not just about getting systems back online. It’s about how fast you bounce back and what that downtime really costs.
Imagine this: it’s your busiest sales day of the year. Your systems go down. Customers are refreshing like mad, carts full, credit cards out—but nothing works. X (formerly Twitter) is blowing up with complaints, your team is scrambling, and every minute ticks away like a cash register in reverse.
For many businesses, downtime can cost thousands of dollars per minute. And it’s not just lost sales—you’re looking at damage to your reputation, unhappy customers, and potential regulatory trouble. Ouch.
Disaster recovery and business continuity are like having a parachute when turbulence hits. With Microsoft Azure and a solid plan in place, you can restore operations fast and save yourself from those “oh no” moments.
Here’s the deal:
If you’re already on Azure (or thinking about it), this duo is your best friend. It’s the difference between scrambling to fix things in the dark and flipping a switch to keep the lights on.
It’s not paranoia if the threats are real—and they are:
Azure’s geo-redundant storage and failover capabilities make sure your data isn’t living in just one place. And when paired with a proper BC plan? You’re in much safer territory.
Let’s talk numbers. We worked with a retail client whose e-commerce site was hosted on Azure. One morning, everything went dark—right before a major flash sale. Fortunately, they had Azure Site Recovery and backups in place. Within minutes, they were back up and running in another region. Lost revenue? Minimal. Customer trust? Intact.
It’s the kind of “disaster” that would have been devastating—if they hadn’t planned ahead.
Let’s face it—people expect 24/7 everything. If your service is down, they’re not sticking around to understand why. They’re heading to your competitor. And if they’re vocal about it? Good luck containing that fire.
Azure Site Recovery helps you switch over to backup systems without your customers even noticing. It’s like flipping a switch instead of dealing with a full-blown crisis. We’ve seen this save reputations more than once.
In regulated industries, an outage isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a compliance one. Whether you’re dealing with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or another acronym soup, regulators expect you to have a plan.
Azure’s encrypted backups and activity logs make compliance easier. And a BC plan shows auditors you’ve got your act together. We help clients tick all the boxes—without the stress.
Great BC/DR strategies start with understanding what matters most. That’s where a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) comes in. It helps you set clear recovery goals like:
From there, Azure’s regional redundancy and failover magic can be aligned to meet your exact needs. We’ve helped businesses go from days-long outages to seamless, 10-minute recoveries.
Microsoft Azure brings the muscle. Here’s what’s in the toolbox:
It’s powerful stuff—but setting it up the right way takes experience. That’s where we come in.
One of our clients—a growing retail chain—was gearing up for a holiday rush. And right on cue, a cyberattack hit their Azure-hosted platform. Without a DR plan? It would’ve been a PR and financial disaster. But with Intwo’s setup:
Instead of being “that brand with the outage,” they came out as the one that didn’t flinch. Their customers barely noticed—and that’s the dream.
