Cloud disaster recovery & business continuity

Design and implement AWS disaster recovery strategies that help your business recover applications and data after infrastructure failures or other disruptions.

Who it is for

Businesses that cannot afford long outages or lost data, such as banks, fintechs, hospitals and online retailers, and any team that has backups but has never tested a full recovery.

Cloud Dimex helps businesses decide how quickly each system must come back after a failure and how much data they can afford to lose. We then design and build the AWS recovery setup that meets those targets at a sensible cost.

Depending on the workload, that can be simple automated backups, a pilot light environment in a second AWS Region, or a warm standby ready to take traffic. Every plan is tested, documented and rehearsed with your team.

Outages, ransomware and human error can stop any business, and customers in Lagos and across Nigeria and West Africa expect you to stay online. We build recovery on resilient AWS architecture with protected backups. Book a consultation to set your recovery targets.

How we work

8 steps, each agreed with you before we start. You get a written scope, timeline and cost estimate early in the engagement.

  1. Step 1: Business impact assessment

    We rank your systems by how much downtime costs the business.

  2. Step 2: Recovery objectives

    Recovery time and data loss targets agreed for each system.

  3. Step 3: Recovery strategy selection

    Backup and restore, pilot light or warm standby, per workload.

  4. Step 4: Recovery architecture design

    Cross-Region replication, backups and failover routing.

  5. Step 5: Implementation

    Backups, replication and failover built as code.

  6. Step 6: Recovery testing

    A full recovery drill, measured against your targets.

  7. Step 7: Runbooks and team handover

    Step by step recovery guides your team has rehearsed.

  8. Step 8: Regular review and drills

    Plans updated as your systems change.
