Disaster Recovery

Planning for the Unexpected

Every organization depends on technology to operate, but systems are never immune to disruption. Hardware can fail, power can be lost, and malicious actors can target vulnerabilities. Even simple human error can lead to prolonged downtime or the loss of vital information. Catapult Computing provides disaster recovery solutions that prepare your business to react quickly, restore essential systems, and safeguard data so continuity is never left to chance.

Building Readiness from the Ground Up

Preparation is the starting point of resilience. Our process begins with a comprehensive review of your IT environment and the threats most likely to impact it. By aligning strategies with your risks, we create recovery plans that are tailored to the unique realities of your business.

  • Identifying hazards specific to your sector and operations
  • Analyzing vulnerabilities across systems and infrastructure
  • Establishing priorities for safeguarding mission-critical services

Reaction Planning That Works Under Pressure

Even the best strategy must translate into action during a crisis. We develop frameworks that ensure every employee understands their responsibilities and can carry them out quickly. Clear direction reduces hesitation and allows restoration efforts to begin immediately.

  • Assigning roles and responsibilities for fast coordination
  • Defining escalation procedures for different incident levels
  • Streamlining communication channels to support decisive action

Advantages of a Structured Recovery Plan

A recovery plan is more than a technical safeguard — it is a business continuity tool. Our structured approach enables companies to withstand disruption and continue delivering services even when conditions are at their most challenging.

  • Readiness for outages caused by natural or man-made events
  • Downtime reduction through efficient recovery workflows
  • Resilience that preserves both operations and reputation

Layers of Protection

Data Backup and Replication

Information is replicated securely across multiple environments, protecting against corruption or system failure and ensuring files remain accessible.

Infrastructure Continuity

Failover mechanisms and redundant systems provide alternative capacity when primary resources are compromised, keeping critical functions active.

Application
Resilience

Core applications are prioritized during recovery, allowing essential business processes to resume first.

Testing
and Drills

Regular drills simulate real disruptions, allowing staff to practice response steps and validate the effectiveness of their strategies.

Real-Life Scenario: Power Failure in a Distribution Firm

A distribution company depends on its warehouse management system to process orders and track shipments. During a storm, power is lost across the region, and servers are shut down. Without disaster recovery in place, operations grind to a halt. Orders pile up, customers face delays, and competitors seize the opportunity.

With Catapult Computing’s disaster recovery strategy, mirrored systems come online immediately. Off-site data replication enables the warehouse team to resume processing orders within hours. Clients remain supported, deadlines are met, and long-term trust is preserved. The disruption becomes a minor setback rather than a business crisis.

Testing and Validation for Ongoing Confidence

Disaster recovery planning is not static. A plan that looks good on paper may fail if it is never tested in practice. Catapult Computing builds validation directly into every strategy so our clients can see results long before an incident occurs.

We conduct controlled recovery drills that simulate real-world threats, including server outages, ransomware attacks, and regional power failures. These exercises demonstrate whether processes can withstand pressure, highlight gaps that require attention, and prepare staff to act with confidence.

Validation is not a one-time activity. We schedule regular testing intervals, update plans as technology changes, and incorporate lessons from each round into the next. This cycle ensures that disaster recovery strategies remain practical, effective, and fully aligned with your evolving organization.

Continuous Improvement as Standard

Recovery strategies must evolve in step with changing risks and technologies. Catapult Computing reviews recovery plans regularly, updating them to account for compliance requirements, lessons from past events, and industry best practices. This process ensures resilience improves year after year. We also track trends that shape future risks, from the rise of ransomware to shifting regulations. By adapting early, our clients maintain recovery strategies that are relevant, reliable, and ready.

Industry-Specific Recovery Needs

Different industries face different vulnerabilities, and no two recovery plans are alike. Catapult Computing builds strategies that recognize these distinctions:

  • Healthcare Requires strict compliance with privacy regulations and the secure restoration of sensitive patient data without delay.
  • Financial Services Demands uninterrupted transaction systems and rapid recovery to maintain customer trust and regulatory standing.
  • Manufacturing Must keep production lines running and supply chains traceable, ensuring operations remain efficient even during disruption.
  • Professional Services Relies on continuous access to confidential client records and project files to maintain credibility.

Prepared for Every Possibility

Disaster recovery is not about predicting the exact nature of the next crisis — it is about ensuring your organization can withstand whatever may come. Catapult Computing creates structured, adaptable strategies that keep data, systems, and operations functioning when it matters most.
