IT DR Dependency Mapping · IT Disaster Recovery

What really has to come back, and in what order?

For IT director, infrastructure manager, IT DR lead

Talk to us about thisHow it works
You receiveReconciled application and server inventory · Application and Infrastructure Dependency Register (Excel) · Application dependency matrix and per-application views
Timing and scopeConfirmed with you after a first conversation, once we understand your organization.
What happens nextA written recommendation. If you proceed, a scoped proposal for the next stage.

Applications rarely fail, or recover, on their own. They depend on databases, identity services, networks, storage, other applications and cloud or SaaS providers, and much of that is not documented. We build a validated map of those dependencies across on-premises and cloud environments, surface single points of failure, and turn the map into a dependency-driven recovery sequence, with a procedure to keep it current.

How we work

What we do

Open a step to see what happens and what you receive.

Inventory Baseline

One agreed starting list of what you run.

  • Reconcile CMDB, asset, cloud and tool exports into a single inventory of applications and servers

You receive: Reconciled application and server inventory baseline.

Discovery

We find what each system relies on.

  • Infrastructure and application workshops
  • Owner questionnaires
  • Cloud and SaaS dependency review across eight layers
Mapping and Analysis

Dependencies turned into a recovery order.

  • Dependency register
  • Application dependency matrix
  • Recovery tiers
  • Single points of failure

You receive: Application and Infrastructure Dependency Register (Excel), application dependency matrix and per-application views.

Validation and Handover

Owners confirm the map, and you can keep it current.

  • Validation with application and infrastructure owners
  • Final report and executive readout
  • Procedure to keep maps current

You receive: Recovery sequence, single point of failure summary, report and maintenance procedure.

Outcomes

What you can expect

Assessment

  • A single, validated source of truth for what each application depends on
  • A defensible, dependency-driven recovery order for DR planning and testing
  • Hidden single points of failure surfaced before a disruption finds them

Questions leaders ask

Do you implement DR technology?

The Discover and Design services define and document what is needed. Implementation can be scoped separately, and we confirm how in the proposal.

Is the work done on site?

Defined services are delivered remotely, on a schedule agreed with you. On-site sessions can be discussed during scoping.
