THE CHALLENGE OF BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Business continuity considerations make a disaster recovery plan imperative for your organization You have to develop disaster recovery procedures Testing these procedures is a resource-intensive task that involves multiple experts and needs to perform a number of repetitive and tedious task. It can result in rapidly escalating costs
You need to keep your disaster recovery procedures updated and aligned with the changes of your IT infrastructure and business environment Different hardwares and softwares lead to greater DR plans management complexity (multiple start/stop procedures, ordering, dependencies)
The manual procedures drives to risks of human errors (business disruption, loss of revenue and productivity)

WORKFLOWS
NOMINAL SITUATION Nadra DRP is configured, DR plans are implemented, the storage is replicating. The data replication and hypervisor activity are monitored. Configuration changes are detected by the application and DR plans are updated accordingly. If a gap of configuration is detected, an alert is sent to the administrator.
FAILOVER When a disaster occurs, Nadra Automated DRP executes the DR plans as configured and starts the applications on the DR site. If installed, Nadra DRP agent automatically remount network shares on the DR site as soon as Nadra Automated DRP puts them back online.
5
FAILBACK Once the disaster is resolved, Nadra Automated DRP detects that the production site is back online and performs the reversed data replication because applications and data have evolved during the disaster. Nadra Automated DRP performs multiple waves of reversed data replication in order to reduce the time of the failback disruption. When the failback is fired (can be manual or scheduled), Nadra Automated DRP properly shutdowns the DR site , performs a last reversed data replication (very quick thanks to the precedent waves), puts the production site back online and starts the applications accordingly to the DR plans. If installed, Nadra DRP agent automatically remount network shares on the production site as soon as Nadra Automated DRP puts them back online. And we are back to the Nominal Situation.

USE CASES BUSINESS CONTINUITY
In case of disaster, Nadra DRP allows a quick workaround to put applications back online (failover).
MAINTENANCE Nadra DRP allows to shutdown the entire production infrastructure in order to process a maintenance (upgrade, configuration change, technology shift, transformation‌) without interrupting services as applications are automatically started up on the DR infrastructure.
MULTIPLE ACTIVE/ACTIVE SITES WITH DATA REDUNDANCY In this specific configuration, each site has its own applications and is redundant on another one. Nadra DRP allows multiple active/active sites to permit resources usage optimization (DR site is not passive) and still be able to trigger a failover for each site in case of disaster.
