What is DRaaS?

DRaaS is a service designed to help organisations combat the destructive consequences of disasters such as a cyberattack or a natural disaster that destroys onsite servers.

Curveball’s Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a cloud computing service model that allows your business to back up its data and IT infrastructure through a third-party cloud computing environment. This provides all the mission-critical disaster recovery orchestration you need through a SaaS solution. Our DRaaS solutions can help you to regain access and functionality to your IT infrastructure after any inconvenient outages.

Let Curveball help you to get a handle on your cloud disaster recovery strategy and protect yourself from any potential disruptive events that can wreak havoc with your business. We’ll protect you, covering everything from equipment failures and power outages to cyberattacks.

So if you’re undertaking business continuity planning for disaster management, contact our experts. We’ll help you to put together a cloud-based recovery plan that will ensure the business continuity you need to feel totally safe and protected.

Why does my business need DRaaS?

Rapid Recovery

Downtime after a disaster can prove incredibly costly, and organisations can never know when a disruptive event will strike. DRaaS, however, is designed to help organisations hit by a disaster recover their data to a point in time and resume functionality as quickly as possible. Your Disaster Recovery as a Service provider should be judged on their response times and results – our DR planning includes the use of a hybrid cloud model, to minimise as much downtime as possible

Fewer Resources Used

DRaaS allows for organisations to access, back up, and recover their assets on the cloud. As a cloud service, this means that making use of the DRaaS model enables organisations to protect their data and put a comprehensive recovery process in place without having to invest in tons of additional hardware and software licenses.

Improved Flexibility

When putting together a disaster recovery plan that relies on on-site hardware and software, organisations often must focus primarily on preventing and recovering from a specific type of disaster. DRaaS, however, is much more flexible, enabling organisations to be protected against a wide range of disasters such as loss of power, server failure, human error, cyber attacks, and more.

How does DRaaS work?

1 2 3 4 5

With server replication every 15 seconds to our UK data centres, you can be back up and running in a matter of minutes and reduce the impact to your business if the worst should happen.

Through the continuous capturing of written blocks, restoring from any point in time is possible. This gives you peace of mind that you are protected from losing access to critical applications and data.

Remove further costs and the burden of managing your own disaster recovery data centre with the flexibility to pay for what you use. We can also remove the requirement for dedicated recover office space.

As well as a highly effective way to recover from ransomware, there are other advantages to implementing DRaaS. With the option to build in sandbox networks, it allows for testing and development of new applications, the carrying out of patch management and the running of security scans. All without affecting your user’s productivity. Test your entire infrastructure in an isolated bubble, in just a few steps.

Adhere to compliance requirements, such as GDPR and HIPAA regulations, with a service you can rely on to protect your business due to its resilient infrastructure.

Nationwide Fire Sprinklers have been happy customers of Curveball for many years. What started out as the provision of a new telephone system soon turned into a multiple product solution. Not only do we entrust Curveball with our in-house telephony, they have also provided us with a brilliant mobile phone package, a cloud-based backup facility and have helped us underpin our business with a highly reliable leased line.

In a world defined by the effective use of technology, it is of great reassurance to work with a partner such as Curveball.

Richard Platt

Manager

St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School

We had organised to use Curveball Solutions as our telephone systems provider from July 2022 onwards, after an issue with our existing supplier having no phone service at all for 3 weeks in May 2022. The team at Curveball were quick to offer us help and support.

Within the 3 weeks of service loss with our current provider, Curveball successfully managed to organise installation and setup of our new system as well as training and porting all our services over from our existing supplier (within the same period we had no resolution to our existing issue). Within less than a month we had a fully operational phone system, which in itself is a functional, well-made user-friendly system.

In the short time we have worked with Curveball, we have found them to be extremely helpful, supportive and have gone out of their way to assist us. I would recommend Curveball for phone solutions and we will be looking at the other services they offer, for ourselves in the future.

Lincolnshire Army Cadet Force

Curveball Solutions look after our Mobiles, Fixed Lines, Broadband and IT Support. We chose Curveball as they already supply services to other Cadet Forces in our region and we like the idea of having all of our services with one provider.

We receive regular face to face account reviews from Callum and have no hesitation in contacting any of the Support Team if we encounter any issues. I would recommend giving Curveball Solutions a chance to look at your infrastructure to see where they can help.

Willis Bros

As a family business, we had used a well-known multinational company for our landlines and broadband and a local company for our mobile phones for many years. On the recommendation, we moved everything to Curveball Solutions.

The service that they provide is second to none and we couldn’t wish for a better ‘solution’ to all our problems.

They have been unfailingly helpful, providing a level of friendly, informed and competent support that has come as a refreshing and welcome change from the ineffectual service we had from our previous suppliers. We cannot thank Curveball Solutions enough.

Contact Security UK

We have been using Curveball for many years, we recently moved from a serviced office to an unserviced office so we needed a whole system including separate voice and data lines. Colin & the Curveball team designed and installed everything all within a one week window to minimise downtime during our move.

No job is too small and they always go the extra mile whenever we need assistance so would happily recommend their services to anyone looking to move over to a VOIP telephone system or outsourced IT Support.

M & A Pharmachem

Our previous IT Support was on an ad hoc basis with unpredictable costs and variable service levels. Curveball Solutions originally provided our telephony services and after just 8 months we decided to add a full IT support package knowing we could trust Curveball to look after us.

We now have dedicated high-quality Support Engineers, a Help Desk that is responsive and Account Managers that are always available when we need them. We enjoy a strategic partnership with Curveball Solutions and I would recommend giving them the opportunity to review your business requirements.

All About Food

I couldn’t be happier with the service we have received from Curveball. There is always the concern with any new supplier that they will promise the world to secure the business, and then disappear once the contract is signed.

This has definitely not been the case with Curveball and there are 3 key elements to this; the Engineers who set up our phone system combined expertise with an excellent work ethic and made sure that all our needs from a systems perspective were met; the Support Team have been quick to respond to any required changes to the system since the initial setup; and our Account Manager has been very helpful from the time we first made contact through to now in our ongoing relationship. Curveball has proven themselves to not only be highly capable but also to have good values as a business.

Curveball have managed our school mobile phone account for over 10 years now, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other schools or businesses.

If ever I need to make amendments to my account or request reports, I always know that they are only a phone call away and will action these at the earliest opportunity.

By managing our account effectively and always being on top of our charges, I know I am in safe hands. This takes a lot of pressure off and lets me get back to doing more important things.
