Solutions

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

When systems fail, your ability to recover determines the impact on your business. MEAICON designs and implements disaster recovery and business continuity solutions with defined RTO and RPO targets, automated failover, and resilient backup architectures for organisations across the GCC, Africa, South Asia, and North America.

We help you prepare for the worst — and ensure that when disruption strikes, your critical operations resume with minimal loss and minimal delay.

Overview

Resilience engineered, not assumed

MEAICON's disaster recovery practice is built on the principle that resilience must be engineered and tested, not assumed. We begin by understanding your business requirements — how quickly each system must recover (RTO) and how much data loss is tolerable (RPO) — and design recovery architectures that meet those targets within your budget.

Our solutions span backup and restore, replication to secondary sites, cloud-based failover, and full business continuity planning. We do not stop at designing recovery — we test it regularly, document runbooks, and ensure your team knows exactly what to do when a real disruption occurs. From hardware failure to site-wide outage, we build recovery capability that works when it matters most.

Capabilities

What we deliver

RTO/RPO Planning

Business impact analysis defining recovery time and recovery point objectives per workload, prioritised by business criticality.

Automated Failover

Automated failover architecture with health-based triggers, replication-based recovery, and orchestrated failback procedures.

Backup Architecture

Comprehensive backup design covering snapshots, incremental replication, immutable backups, and off-site retention aligned to your RPO targets.

Secondary Site

Secondary recovery site design — on-premises, cloud, or hybrid — with replicated data, pre-staged systems, and validated recovery procedures.

DR Testing

Regular disaster recovery testing — tabletop exercises, component failover tests, and full site recovery simulations — with documented results.

Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning covering communication protocols, alternative workflows, and operational procedures during system unavailability.

How it works

Delivery approach

01

Assess

We conduct business impact analysis, define RTO and RPO per workload, assess current backup and recovery capabilities, and identify gaps.

02

Design

We architect the recovery strategy — backup topology, replication design, failover automation, secondary site, and continuity runbooks.

03

Build

We deploy backup systems, configure replication, implement failover automation, stage recovery environments, and document runbooks.

04

Operate

Regular DR testing, backup validation, runbook updates, and continuous refinement ensure recovery capability remains reliable and current.

Why MEAICON

What makes this different.

  • Vendor-neutral — we do not resell hardware, software, or cloud capacity. Recommendations are shaped by fit, not commission.
  • Consultants with engineering experience — advice is grounded in what is technically achievable, not theoretical frameworks alone.
  • Regional regulatory knowledge across our markets jurisdictions — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, and cross-border frameworks.
  • Each engagement produces a decision and an implementation plan — not a slide deck that sits on a shelf.
  • Options-based recommendations — we present trade-offs, not a single preferred answer, so your team owns the decision.
  • Experience across enterprise, government, and regulated industries — we calibrate advice to your environment, not a generic best practice.
