Cloud data center outages, accidental developer deletions, and ransomware attacks are catastrophic events that can permanently destroy an unprepared business.

Enterprise disaster recovery requires defining two critical metrics: Recovery Point Objective (RPO: maximum acceptable data loss) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO: maximum acceptable downtime).

Implementing Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) with continuous write-ahead log (WAL) archiving to immutable, cross-region replicated S3 buckets ensures databases can be restored to any exact second.

AVELIO implements automated disaster recovery protocols and runs regular recovery drills to guarantee total business continuity for our corporate partners.

Key Architectural Takeaway
