Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

Plan for resilience

Plan for resilience

Resilience takes more than backup. You need a tested recovery procedure, a clean path back from ransomware, and a trusted continuity plan for the supporting technology.
Right (13)

Backup alone doesn’t protect your business

As data volumes keeps growing, recovering from backup alone can take days or weeks. That’s time most organizations can’t afford. And as ransomware attacks keep evolving, it’s no longer enough to restore yesterday’s data. It could already be compromised. What’s more, the environment may need to be preserved for investigation while the business waits.

Today, resilience requires more than backup. It demands the ability to bring the business back to a known good state — without destroying the evidence of what happened.

The OnX approach

Rehearse your recovery

OnX protects, replicates, and recovers data and systems and helps you build the continuity plan around them. After assessing risk and defining your required recovery time and recovery point objectives, we implement a foundation of managed backup and replication. We maintain tested runbooks and DRaaS so recovery is a rehearsed response. And we add cyber resilience, so a ransomware event becomes a fast rollback rather than a multi-week rebuild.

Our approach turns recovery into a tested procedure rather than an improvisation.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery capabilities

Recovery has two halves. We deliver the technology half: protected data, replicated systems, and a tested path back to running operations. The other piece is the wider continuity plan covering facilities and staff logistics, which lives with your organization. We help you build that plan and restore the technology it depends on.

Where to start

Advisory engagements

A CBTS advisory is a time-bound, fixed-fee engagement designed to give you a clear answer to a specific strategic question — fast.  

AI & Data Maturity Assessment

Best for organizations that want a clear, third-party read on where they stand on AI and data readiness and where to focus first.

You walk away with: 


  • Current-state assessment across both AI and data dimensions
  • Gap analysis against industry benchmarks and your own stated AI ambitions
  • Prioritized list of foundational gaps to close before scaling AI investment
  • Short-form executive readout deck for leadership alignment

What success looks like

What’s the value of greater resilience? Three outcomes show up most consistently for OnX clients.

Reduced risk

Tested runbooks and DRaaS turn recovery from improvisation into procedure, so the business isn’t betting on what the team can figure out under pressure. Snapshot-based rollback closes the gap between data protection and ransomware recovery. HIPAA and PCI compliance are engineered into recovery environments for regulated workloads.

Operational excellence

 Managed backup and replication run continuously. Runbooks are maintained and tested. As a result, the business gets back up against the recovery time objectives the plan committed to.

Business agility

 Governance, operating model, and data foundation decisions made early — before they become liabilities. Strategy work surfaces the regulatory, security, model, and organizational risks that pilot teams rarely have the authority to address on their own. 

“Recovering a large environment from conventional backup alone can take days or weeks. Snapshot-based rollback can provide a reliable alternative in a fraction of that time.”

Frequently asked questions 

What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery (DR)? Backup is the protected copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the ability to bring systems and operations back up from that protection within defined time and data-loss targets. Backup is the foundation; disaster recovery is the tested process built on top of it. That includes replication and runbooks, as well as clear procedures for turning a protected copy into a running environment. OnX provides managed cloud backup as the base layer and disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) as the recovery capability above it.
What does OnX cover in business continuity and disaster recovery? OnX protects, replicates, and recovers your data and systems and helps you plan for continuity through assessment and consulting. We deliver managed backup, DRaaS, cyber-resilience, and the tested run books that get your IT back up after an outage or attack. The facilities-and-people side of continuity, such as where displaced staff work and how they reconnect, lives in your organization’s broader continuity plan. We help you build that plan and restore the technology it depends on.
How does OnX help recover from ransomware? Conventional recovery from backup can take days or weeks for a large environment, and it risks restoring data that’s already compromised. OnX cyber-resilience uses snapshot-based rollback to stand up a clean copy of the environment from before the attack. The business can then resume quickly while the compromised environment is preserved for forensic investigation. When an attack requires coordinated response, our Incident Response & Recovery team leads it under retainer, and recovery is handled through that engagement.
Can OnX meet HIPAA and PCI requirements for disaster recovery? Yes. OnX delivers HIPAA-compliant disaster recovery for healthcare organizations and PCI-compliant business continuity for organizations that handle cardholder data. Recovery environments are built with the access controls, encryption, and documentation those frameworks require. That way, recovery satisfies auditors as well as the business.
