Disaster Recovery as a Service

Offsite recovery without owning a second site.

Quorum DRaaS extends your protected environment into Quorum Cloud, providing a secure, geographically separate recovery location without the cost and complexity of another data center.

Cloud-Based Business Continuity

Your recovery site is ready when you need it.

The local onQ platform creates frequent, bootable snapshots. Those trusted recovery points replicate to Quorum Cloud, where critical workloads can activate when the primary site is unavailable.

01

Recover locally

Use local High Availability for hardware, application, and localized infrastructure failures.

02

Protect offsite

Replicate immutable recovery points to geographically separate cloud infrastructure.

03

Activate in cloud

Boot critical systems in Quorum Cloud during a declared recovery event.

One Architecture, Two Locations

From local protection to cloud recovery.

A coordinated workflow moves trusted recovery points offsite, activates the right workloads, and lets users reconnect while production is restored.

01

Protect

Create frequent, consistent snapshots of physical and virtual systems.

03

Replicate

Encrypt and transfer protected recovery points to Quorum Cloud.

04

Declare

Initiate the cloud recovery process when the primary site is unavailable.

05

Activate

Boot selected workloads inside the dedicated cloud environment.

06

Resume

Reconnect users through secure network access.

07

Return

Restore or migrate systems back on your timeline.

Boot first. Restore whenever.Resume operations before the primary environment is rebuilt.
Disaster Recovery Without the Data Center

Geographic resilience made practical.

Replace secondary-site infrastructure with a managed cloud recovery environment designed to be used—not merely stored.

Eliminate the second site

Gain offsite recovery without purchasing or maintaining another facility.

Activate in minutes

Start protected workloads directly from replicated snapshots.

Simplify infrastructure

Let Quorum manage the recovery platform and its lifecycle.

Control recovery costs

Use a predictable service model instead of underused capital assets.

Recover applications

Activate servers and dependencies together through recovery policies.

Test without disruption

Validate cloud recovery readiness without interrupting production.

Local Speed, Cloud Resilience

Two copies protect the business.

DRaaS begins with local High Availability. The same bootable recovery points that handle everyday failures are replicated to Quorum Cloud for site-level disruption.

  • Fast local activation when the facility remains accessible
  • Geographically separate protection for complete site loss
  • One recovery architecture across both locations
  • Immutable, encrypted recovery points
  • Tested, policy-driven activation

Activation, Not Storage

Cloud backup stores data. DRaaS restores operations.

Quorum DRaaS maintains bootable recovery points that can activate directly inside Quorum Cloud.

Traditional Cloud Backup

Restore, rebuild, reconnect

  • Download or restore data
  • Rebuild infrastructure
  • Configure networks and dependencies
  • Validate applications after restoration
  • Recovery time grows with data volume
Quorum DRaaS

Activate, operate, return

  • Boot protected recovery points in cloud
  • Bring systems online in policy order
  • Reconnect users securely
  • Operate while production is repaired
  • Restore or migrate back later
Ready When Disaster Is Declared

A dedicated cloud recovery environment.

Quorum provides the infrastructure, isolation, and connectivity required to operate protected workloads during a declared event.

Dedicated resources

Recovery capacity is available for protected workloads when activation is required.

Individual firewall

A customer-specific virtual firewall recreates and isolates the network environment.

Secure VPN access

Authorized users reconnect through protected network access.

Tenant isolation

Customer environments remain separated from other cloud tenants.

Managed infrastructure

Quorum maintains the underlying platform and recovery capacity.

0

No runtime recovery fees

No additional recovery runtime charges during declared disaster events.

Secure cloud recovery infrastructure
Protected end to end.Recovery points remain secure in transit, at rest, and during activation.
Protection in Transit and at Rest

Move recovery points without weakening them.

Efficient block replication extends local protection into Quorum Cloud while preserving integrity and security.

Policy-Based Cloud Activation

Bring the environment online in the right order.

Coordinate the systems that make applications usable rather than making server-by-server decisions during an outage.

  • Domain controllers and identity services
  • Database-first startup
  • Application and web server sequencing
  • File, storage, and network dependencies

Ready for Site-Level Disruption

Keep operating when local recovery is not enough.

Shift critical systems away from a location that is damaged, isolated, or unable to support production.

Complete site failure

Activate systems when the primary facility is inaccessible or offline.

Natural disaster

Resume operations from geographically separate infrastructure.

Extended power outage

Continue operating when utilities cannot support production.

Regional disruption

Move workloads away from localized network or utility failure.

Ransomware isolation

Activate clean recovery points while production remains disconnected.

Infrastructure transition

Operate temporarily during migration, replacement, or major change.

Designed for a Zero-Trust Reality

Recovery infrastructure built to stay protected.

Security controls span local protection, replication, cloud storage, and recovery activation.

Immutable snapshots

Recovery points cannot be modified after they are written.

Logical air gap

Storage is isolated from persistent production write access.

Encryption everywhere

Protect data during transfer and while stored.

Tenant isolation

Cloud recovery environments remain logically separated.

Zero-trust access

Control access through identity and authorization practices.

Continuous validation

Monitoring and third-party security testing support cloud posture.

Two Paths to Offsite Recovery

Own the secondary site or use Quorum Cloud.

Disaster Recovery

Manage the recovery environment.

Use a second facility, colocation environment, remote onQ Appliance, or onQ Flex deployment.

  • Full infrastructure control
  • Existing secondary location
  • Internal hardware management
  • Customer-operated recovery environment
Disaster Recovery as a Service

Make Quorum Cloud the recovery site.

Use a managed service when a second data center is unavailable or undesirable.

  • No secondary facility required
  • Minimized capital investment
  • Quorum-managed infrastructure
  • Predictable service model
Local Protection or Cloud-First Recovery?

DRaaS and Direct to Cloud serve different strategies.

DRaaS

Local recovery plus cloud resilience

  • Begins with a local onQ platform
  • Provides rapid local High Availability
  • Replicates recovery points to Quorum Cloud
  • Protects against localized and site-wide events
Direct to Cloud

Cloud as the primary recovery destination

  • Can protect systems without a local appliance
  • Supports remote and distributed environments
  • Reduces on-premises recovery infrastructure
  • Fits cloud-first protection strategies
Is DRaaS Right for You?

Built for organizations that need offsite resilience.

DRaaS aligns managed recovery investment with the operational risk of site-level downtime.

  • No second data center is available
  • Operations must survive complete site loss
  • Geographic redundancy is required
  • Capital expenditure should be minimized
  • Remote recovery hardware is undesirable
  • Offsite protection is a compliance requirement
  • Testing must be repeatable and documented
  • Unpredictable event charges are unacceptable
Recovery Beyond the Building

Your business should not depend on one location.

Combine local High Availability with secure cloud replication and remote activation. No second data center. No restore-first delay. No improvised recovery.
