IT DR Strategy, Plan and Runbook Development · IT Disaster Recovery
Do we have a DR plan and runbooks our team can actually follow?
For IT director, infrastructure manager, IT DR lead
A DR plan only helps if the people on call can follow it under pressure. We design your recovery strategies, failover and cloud DR architecture, write a management-approved IT DR Plan, and build step-by-step runbooks for each in-scope system, matched to your team's skills and sequenced by validated dependencies. This is the Design stage of our 3D methodology, scoped from what Discover finds.

Questions leaders ask
Does the DR Program Assessment include runbooks?
No. The assessment refreshes your existing IT DR Plan and finds the gaps. Building runbooks is this Design-stage service.
Won't the runbooks be too detailed for our team?
We match runbooks to your team's skills and operational realities.
We don't have the people to write a DR plan.
Our phased approach reduces the burden on your staff and speeds up delivery. Kalosys does the writing, with your engineers in the room.
