A running server is not a recovered business service.
RTO is what you expect. Actual Recovery Time is what happened. EnsureDR measures the real recovery time from executed tests — and surfaces the variance before an incident does.
A documented RTO is a promise. Has it ever been measured?
EnsureDR compares the recovery time you planned for against the time recovery actually took — per workload and per business service.
- ✓Target RTO vs tested recovery time
- ✓Variance against the business threshold
- ✓Trend against the previous test
- ✓Workloads recovering outside their window
- ✓Business impact of the delay
A running server is not a recovered business service.
Recovery time only counts when the business can operate. EnsureDR measures every stage in between.
Infrastructure startup time
How long until recovered machines are running — the number most tools stop at.
Application availability time
How long until applications start, connect, and authenticate.
Business-service recovery time
How long until the complete service actually operates — the number the business feels.
Variance at every level
Workload, application, and business-service variance against each target.
Bottleneck identification
The stage that consumed the recovery window, so effort goes where it matters.
Trend against previous tests
Whether recovery is getting faster or quietly getting slower.
Measure recovery time. Do not assume it.
