Upstream Operator Achieves Sub-15-Minute RTO for Production-Critical Workloads
Designing and delivering a fully validated DR landing zone on Azure for SCADA, historian, and production-critical applications.
Project Overview
The Challenge
Production-critical OT and IT systems were running in a single primary datacenter with no validated cross-region DR posture, posing existential risk to production continuity.
- 1Single-site exposure for SCADA, historian, and ERP workloads
- 2Untested DR processes with unclear RPO/RTO commitments
- 3Regulatory pressure to demonstrate validated BCP
Our Solution
CloudGate designed and deployed a complete DR landing zone in a secondary Azure region with validated failover procedures and security parity.
- Hub-and-spoke DR landing zone in a paired Azure region
- Zone-redundant Azure Firewall and active-active VPN for OT connectivity
- Quarterly failover drills with documented runbooks and audit evidence
The Results
- Passed independent BCP audit on first attempt
