At RackGenius, we go beyond Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to revolutionize Backup and Disaster Recovery, offering avant-garde solutions that ensure data resilience and quick recovery during unexpected events. We employ tools like Veeam Backup & Replication and Zerto for real-time backup and recovery.
🛠️ Our Approach
RackGenius adopts a holistic approach to Backup and Disaster Recovery, anchored by the following key points:
🔄 Continuous Data Protection
We implement continuous data protection mechanisms to ensure your data is always current and easily recoverable. Software like Commvault and Datto are used for this purpose.

🏗️ Our Architecture
RackGenius’s Backup and Disaster Recovery architecture employs cutting-edge technology:
🌍 Geo-Redundant Data Centers
We store backup data in geographically disparate data centers to protect against regional calamities. Partnership with our main DC Operator, GTS, ensures this.
👁️ Continuous Data Monitoring
Real-time data monitoring and synchronization make certain that backup data is always current. Software like SolarWinds Backup is used for continuous monitoring.
🔄 Automated Failover
In case of a disaster, automated failover mechanisms activate to ensure your services are promptly restored. Solutions like Microsoft Hyper-V Replica are used for automated failover.
🔒 Data Encryption
Backup data is encrypted to shield it from unauthorized access, both during storage and transfer. Encryption tools like Symantec Endpoint Encryption are utilized.
We do not see the data as one of RGs principles is that data should come encrypted from the client to us.
