Client Delivery (Enhanced for IT DR & Backup - Azure Cloud)
Engage on End‑to‑End BCP/DR Projects – Partner with clients across industries to design, implement and continuously improve Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery solutions that leverage Azure’s native capabilities.
Perform Business Impact Analyses (BIA) & Risk Assessments (RA) – Identify critical applications, data flows and dependencies, map them to Azure resources (VMs, AKS clusters, Azure SQL, Storage accounts, etc.), and evaluate threat scenarios specific to cloud and hybrid environments.
Architect Azure/AWS/GCP‑Centric DR Strategies – Produce comprehensive plans (Business Continuity Plans, IT Disaster Recovery Plans, Crisis Management Plans) that incorporate:
Azure Site Recovery (ASR) for automated replication, fail‑over and fail‑back of VMs, SAP workloads and physical servers.
Azure Backup with Recovery Services vaults for workloads such as Azure SQL, Azure VM, SharePoint Online and on‑premises servers.
Geo‑redundant storage (GRS/RA‑G) and Azure SQL Geo‑Replication to meet RPO/RTO targets.
Infrastructure‑as‑Code (ARM/Terraform) templates to provision DR environments on demand.
Azure Policy & Azure Monitor for compliance tracking, health‑checks and automated alerts.
Implement– Guide clients in establishing a BCM program that satisfies ISO 22301 requirements, embedding Azure governance (Azure Blueprints, Azure Security Center) and continuous improvement processes.
