Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a cloud-based business continuity solution that replicates your entire production IT environment — servers, virtual machines, databases, applications, and data — to a geographically separated cloud recovery site in near-real-time. When disaster strikes — whether hardware failure, ransomware attack, natural disaster, power outage, or human error — DRaaS enables automated failover to the cloud-hosted recovery site within minutes, keeping your business operational with minimal data loss.
NxtGen DRaaS is NxtGen's enterprise disaster recovery platform, purpose-built for Indian enterprises that require stringent RPO/RTO guarantees, regulatory compliance (RBI, IRDAI, SEBI), and sovereign data protection. NxtGen DRaaS integrates three industry-leading replication engines — Zerto for continuous data protection with journal-based recovery (RPO under 15 seconds), Veeam for versatile backup-integrated DR (RPO from 15 minutes), and NxtGen's proprietary CDP engine for workloads requiring specialised replication — all targeting NxtGen's Tier-III+ certified datacenters in Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
Unlike traditional DR that requires building and maintaining an expensive secondary datacenter with matching hardware, NxtGen DRaaS eliminates capital expenditure on idle recovery infrastructure. Your production workloads — VMware vSphere VMs, Microsoft Hyper-V VMs, physical bare-metal servers, and cloud-hosted VMs — replicate continuously to NxtGen's cloud, with automated failover orchestration that brings applications online in the correct dependency order. Non-disruptive DR testing lets you validate your recovery plan quarterly, monthly, or on-demand without any production impact.
As an Authorized NxtGen Cloud Partner in India, PrecisionTech designs, deploys, and manages NxtGen DRaaS environments — from DR assessment and replication architecture through failover runbook automation, compliance mapping, and 24×7 managed DR operations with RPO monitoring and regulatory audit support.
Continuous Data Protection captures every write operation in real time using journal-based replication — Zerto VRAs at the hypervisor level or NxtGen's proprietary CDP agents. RPO under 15 seconds. Rolling journal window from 1 to 30 days enables point-in-time recovery to any second — critical for ransomware recovery where you need to roll back to the exact moment before encryption began.
Pre-configured runbooks execute the entire failover sequence automatically — VM boot ordering based on application dependencies (database → app server → web frontend → load balancer), IP address re-mapping, DNS updates, and post-boot verification scripts. Failover completes in minutes, not hours. Supports manual trigger, automated trigger on site failure detection, or semi-automatic with administrator confirmation.
Execute full DR failover tests without impacting production. Recovery VMs boot in an isolated network bubble at the NxtGen DR site — production continues normally, replication runs uninterrupted, and journal entries are preserved. Generate documented test reports showing recovery time and application status for RBI, IRDAI, SEBI, and ISO 27001 auditors. Test quarterly, monthly, or on-demand.
Convert manual DR procedures into executable orchestration workflows. Define boot sequences, application dependency chains, IP/DNS re-mapping rules, post-boot health checks (HTTP, database connectivity, service status), and notification triggers. Verification gates between boot stages confirm each tier is healthy before proceeding. PrecisionTech designs and validates runbooks during deployment and updates them as your environment evolves.
Choose the replication topology that matches your business requirements: active-passive (production active, DR passive until failover), active-active (both sites serve workloads, each providing DR for the other), or multi-site (primary + secondary + tertiary across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad). Geographic separation satisfies RBI's 500 km DR site distance requirement.
NxtGen's recovery infrastructure runs on VMware Cloud Director with vSphere, vSAN, and NSX — providing full hypervisor compatibility with zero re-platforming. Zerto VRAs integrate at the ESXi level; Veeam uses VADP. NSX networking mirrors your production topology. vSAN storage matches production characteristics. Your VMware VMs replicate to an identical VMware stack.
Full Hyper-V disaster recovery through Zerto and Veeam — VRA agents on Hyper-V hosts provide the same near-zero RPO and journal-based recovery as VMware. Cross-hypervisor DR supported: replicate Hyper-V VMs to VMware-based recovery at NxtGen. Hyper-V failover clusters with CSV fully supported. Windows Server workloads (AD, SQL Server, Exchange) protected with application-consistent recovery.
Physical-to-Cloud (P2C) disaster recovery for bare-metal servers. Lightweight block-level replication agents stream changes to NxtGen's cloud; during failover, physical disk images convert to VMs on NxtGen's VMware infrastructure. Supports Windows Server 2012 R2 through 2025 and major Linux distributions. Critical for legacy applications where virtualisation is impractical.
Application-consistent snapshots capture in-memory state and pending transactions — not just raw disk data. VSS integration (Windows) and pre/post-freeze scripts (Linux) ensure SQL Server, Oracle, SAP HANA, Exchange, and Active Directory recover in a transactionally consistent state without manual transaction log replay or corruption repair, reducing effective RTO to match VM boot time.

★★★★★"RBI mandates sub-4-hour RTO for core banking systems and we were struggling to meet that with our legacy tape-based DR. PrecisionTech migrated us to NxtGen DRaaS with Zerto continuous replication — our RPO dropped from 24 hours to under 15 seconds, and RTO from 18 hours to 12 minutes. The non-disruptive DR testing capability means we now run quarterly compliance tests without any production impact. Our RBI audit went from a major finding to a clean pass in one cycle."
★★★★★"Patient EHR data is sacred — any downtime directly impacts clinical decisions. We deployed NxtGen DRaaS across our 14 hospital locations protecting VMware and Hyper-V environments simultaneously. The journal-based CDP recovery lets us roll back to any point in time, which saved us during a ransomware incident — we recovered 2,800 VMs to a clean state 30 seconds before the encryption started, with zero patient data loss. The automated runbooks ensure our clinical applications come up in the correct dependency order every time."
★★★★★"During our Diwali sale, we process 50× normal transaction volume and a DR failure would mean crores in lost revenue. PrecisionTech designed an active-active multi-site DR architecture on NxtGen with automated failover — when our primary Mumbai site had a cooling failure during peak traffic, the workloads failed over to Bengaluru in under 90 seconds with zero dropped transactions. Our customers never noticed. The WAN optimization cut our replication bandwidth costs by 60% compared to our previous DR vendor."
