Disaster recovery
Replicate your servers, data and workloads into our own Norfolk facility — geographically separate, on different power and a different network. When fire, flood, ransomware or hardware failure takes your primary site offline, your business keeps running.
Why NorwichDC
A backup you have never tested is a hope, not a plan. We build DR you can fail over to — on hardware we own, in a facility we operate, with the engineers who run it on the end of the phone.
Your DR sits in a different building, on different power and a different network path. A problem at your site does not follow your data here.
Replication is AES-256 encrypted in transit and at rest. Your DR copy is no softer a target than your production estate — and it is DDoS protected too.
Tell us how much downtime and data loss the business can tolerate. We size replication frequency and standby capacity to hit your RTO and RPO — not a generic SLA.
We help you run scheduled DR tests and failover drills, so you find the gaps in a planned window — not at 3am during a real incident.
Immutable and versioned recovery points mean a single bad night can't encrypt your only copy. Roll back to a clean point in time.
When you declare a disaster you reach the engineers who run the facility — not an outsourced first line reading from a script.
DR options
From a simple offsite copy to a full warm site you can fail over to, every option lands in our Norfolk facility — encrypted, DDoS protected and monitored. Each plan is scoped to your estate and your recovery targets, so the figures below are starting points, not a fixed menu.
An encrypted copy, off your premises
From £29/mo
Best for “just don’t lose the data”
Already own a NAS? Colocate it instead
Most popular
Replicated servers, ready to boot
From £99/mo
Best for production systems
Your own DR hardware, colocated
From £300/mo +VAT
Best for full estate failover
Not sure which fits? Tell us your recovery targets and we’ll design the right mix — including hybrids across all three.
How it works
Your servers and data replicate into the Norfolk facility around the clock. If your primary site goes dark, we bring your DR environment online and your users keep working — then fail you cleanly back when the dust settles.
Recovery targets
Good DR starts with two honest numbers: how long you can be down, and how much data you can afford to lose. Everything else — replication frequency, standby capacity, cost — follows from those.
What you’re covered for
A physical disaster at your premises doesn’t take your systems with it — your environment is already running in Norfolk.
Immutable, versioned recovery points let you roll back to a clean copy from before the encryption hit.
A dead SAN or failed host stops being an emergency when a current replica is sitting ready in our facility.
Lose power or your line at the office and we keep serving from a site on independent power and a separate network.
Tested DR with UK-resident data gives you real evidence for insurers, auditors and customer security questionnaires.
A second, independent home for your critical workloads — so one provider’s bad day isn’t yours too.
Geographic resilience
Your DR environment in our Norfolk facility is reached across the GSL backbone — a global mesh of edge metros, upstream points of presence and private fibre runs, independent of your primary site’s connectivity. Drag the globe, then click any metro or fibre run to see what it covers.
Questions
Backups protect your data; disaster recovery protects your ability to keep operating. We don’t only hold a copy — with Warm Standby and Full DR Site you can actually bring your environment online here and fail over, not just restore files and hope.
Physical and virtual servers, VMs, databases, file shares and application data. Whether you’re running on-premises, in another data centre, or in public cloud, we’ll work out the right replication method for your stack.
It depends on the RTO you choose. Warm Standby typically restores service in under an hour; a full DR site designed around your estate can be faster still. Offsite Backup trades speed for simplicity and aims for next business day.
Yes — and you should. We help you run scheduled DR tests and failover drills in a controlled window so you know recovery works before you ever need it for real.
Always. Your DR copy lives in our own Long Stratton facility near Norwich — UK-resident data on UK-owned hardware, never offshored. That keeps GDPR and data-residency requirements straightforward.
It’s captured at the DR site. When your primary is restored we resync everything back and fail you over cleanly, so nothing created during the incident is left behind.
The engineers who run the facility and your DR environment. One call, real people, working the failover with you — not a ticket in a queue.
