When data goes down, everything else tends to follow. Outages stall transactions, ransomware halts operations, and customers don’t wait around.
That’s why cloud-based disaster recovery is the plan. Especially as attacks grow more targeted and regulations tighten, businesses are rethinking what it means to be truly resilient.
According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach now costs $4.4 million. Meanwhile, Coveware’s Q2-2025 findings reveal that ransomware payouts have climbed to an average of $1.13 million, with many organizations paying simply to prevent stolen data from being leaked. It’s a brutal landscape.
As a VMware cloud service provider, we see these challenges up close. But we also see opportunities, specifically, the opportunity to help organizations build recovery strategies that work. At OTAVA, we specialize in secure, compliant, and reliable disaster recovery built on VMware’s most advanced technologies. In a time of industry-wide shakeups and escalating risk, that kind of reliability matters more than ever.
Cyber threats are only part of the equation. While ransomware makes headlines, most outages still stem from more mundane issues, such as a misconfigured update, an aging server, or even simple human error. These everyday disruptions can bring operations to a halt just as easily—and often do.
According to the Uptime Institute’s 2025 Outage Analysis, unplanned outages remain both frequent and financially damaging, especially for organizations without structured, well-rehearsed recovery plans.
Traditional disaster recovery methods, such as tape backups, offsite storage, and manual restoration, are no longer fast or flexible enough to meet today’s demands. In a digital-first world, businesses can’t afford to be offline for hours, let alone days. Customers expect continuity. Compliance regulations demand it.
That’s where cloud-first disaster recovery makes a real difference. At OTAVA, we build VMware-powered DR environments designed specifically for high availability. Our approach reduces RTOs and RPOs dramatically, with built-in automation, multi-site replication, and seamless failover capabilities. We back up data and make sure our clients can access it quickly, securely, and with minimal disruption.
Whether it’s a targeted cyberattack or a natural disaster, we provide the infrastructure and expertise needed to keep systems online and business moving forward.
Not every provider offering VMware-based services brings the same level of assurance. In 2024, Broadcom made sweeping changes to the VMware partner ecosystem, limiting official access to VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and licensing to a select group of partners. That move created a clear divide between truly qualified VMware cloud hosting providers and resellers operating without official support.
We’re proud to be one of Broadcom’s VCSP Premier Partners. That means we’re authorized to deliver VMware Cloud Foundation with full lifecycle support, version upgrades, and security patching. We’ve also earned the VMware Cloud Verified designation, confirming that our infrastructure includes vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and the rest of the complete VMware software-defined data center stack.
More than that, we back our platform with 24/7 support, built-in compliance tools, and transparent service models. From licensing clarity to environmental performance, our clients know what they’re getting, and they know it’s built to last.
True resilience begins with architecture. At its core, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is designed to make cloud infrastructure smarter, more consistent, and inherently more recoverable. By unifying compute, storage, networking, and management under one integrated platform, VCF eliminates the silos and manual configurations that often slow down recovery efforts or introduce risk.
But not every provider is positioned to deliver VCF today. Broadcom’s restructuring of the VMware partner model has drastically narrowed the field, authorizing only a select group of VMware cloud providers to deliver and manage VCF environments at scale. We’re proud to be one of them.
Our VCF as a Service (VCFaaS) offers a complete, enterprise-grade VMware stack that’s recovery-ready out of the box. With built-in lifecycle management, software remains current, secure, and optimized for performance. Automation and orchestration tools simplify routine tasks while improving consistency. And with built-in DR features like high-availability clustering and site redundancy, clients are always prepared for disruption.
For businesses, that means less complexity and faster, more confident recovery. Our clients don’t have to chase updates, negotiate multiple vendor relationships, or troubleshoot unsupported platforms. We give them a unified, stable foundation, ready to scale, secure, and resilient from day one.
Disaster recovery is an active, ongoing process, and one that needs to be as responsive as the threats it’s designed to mitigate.
That’s why our DRaaS goes beyond basic backup. We use VMware-native tools to ensure clean failover paths, integrate Zerto for real-time replication, and rely on Veeam for immutable backups and staged recovery options. Together, these tools give our clients flexibility and speed, without compromising data integrity.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
One real-world example: A healthcare provider faced a ransomware event that locked their core systems. Within 72 hours, we helped them fully recover operations, validate data integrity, and return to care delivery, all without paying a ransom. That level of assurance comes from tight coordination between technology, process, and people.
We also align our testing and documentation with NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO 22301 standards, giving our clients peace of mind during audits and board reviews.
Regulations have gotten sharper. In the U.S., several frameworks now directly tie disaster recovery capability to legal and financial obligations.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what’s changed:
We help our clients meet these expectations with confidence. Our infrastructure carries certifications for SOC 1, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001. But more importantly, our services are built to operationalize those standards from documented recovery workflows to automated compliance reporting.
In today’s cloud ecosystem, picking the right partner is about infrastructure as well as accountability. That’s why we design our disaster recovery and VMware services to deliver transparency, uptime, and confidence from the first deployment to the last restore point.
