Sanal Çekirdek

A continuity plan comes from a service map, not a server list.

Business continuity is the discipline of planning how critical services recover, treating people, applications, identity, networks, data, suppliers, and decision rights as one coordinated sequence. Sanal Çekirdek designs continuity at the service level and validates recovery through regular exercises.

Business impact and critical-service mapping

Priorities are set by customer and operational impact, not by a server list. Each critical service is mapped across process, applications, data, identity, networking, people, locations and suppliers.

  • Maximum tolerable disruption
  • RTO/RPO and data-loss impact
  • Minimum viable service
  • Dependencies and recovery order

Backup, replication and DRaaS

Technology is selected around the recovery time and recovery point. Immutable or isolated backups, application-consistent copies, secondary capacity, network transition and DNS steps are connected in one recovery plan.

  • Protection tiers and retention
  • Replication and secondary capacity
  • Network, identity and security dependencies
  • Runbooks and automation

Trusted recovery after a cyber incident

In ransomware or identity compromise, the newest copy may not be the safest. Selecting a clean recovery point, restoring trust in identity, checking for residual compromise and validating in isolation require a separate recovery path.

  • Clean-room or isolated validation environment
  • Golden images and trusted configuration
  • Evidence preservation and incident response
  • Phased service restoration

Exercises and continual improvement

Plans are exercised through tabletop scenarios, technical restores, partial service tests and full failover at the appropriate level. Each exercise records measurements, deviations, decisions and improvement actions.

  • Annual and change-triggered test program
  • Technical and business acceptance criteria
  • Evidence, timeline and observations
  • Remediation plan and retest

How we work

  1. Define the business outcome and decision owners
  2. Establish baseline measures
  3. Design the integrated solution and operating model
  4. Run a controlled pilot and scale
  5. Measure results and update the roadmap

How success is measured

  • Achieved recovery time and recovery point
  • Successful application and business-service validation
  • Unexpected dependencies and manual intervention
  • Closure time for exercise findings

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backup protects a copy of data. Disaster recovery restores the service across compute, networking, identity, applications, data and activation sequence. One does not replace the other.

How are RTO and RPO determined?

They are based on the business impact of disruption and data loss, not chosen as technical preferences. More aggressive targets require greater capacity, architecture, testing and cost.

Is a full disaster test required every year?

The appropriate test level depends on risk, change and contractual needs. A full outage exercise may not always be suitable, but recovery, dependency and decision-making must still be tested regularly.

Which workloads are suitable for DRaaS?

Virtualizable workloads with known dependencies and support in the secondary environment are strong candidates. Licensing, physical dependencies, data volume and network transition are validated during discovery.

The first step is to identify the most critical service, not simply the most critical server.
