Create On-Demand IT Disaster Recovery Plans
When an outage occurs, swift service restoration is crucial. However, many IT organizations struggle to piece together application data stored across multiple systems and create coherent dependency maps.
How can IT improve response times to meet RTOs, SLAs, and regulatory demands? Additionally, how can they furnish proof of recovery during site failover, particularly in banking and other critical sectors?
TransitionManager allows you to promptly assess outage impact, identify affected applications, and generate dynamic runbooks for coordinated app recovery. Create recovery plans for full site failover to uphold service continuity and generate an audit trail detailing tasks, time, date, and task owner for transparency and accountability.

One-Click DR Reduces Risk and Cost
TransitionManager can unify and streamline the CloudEndure Disaster Recovery (DR) toolchain. The platform was built to integrate with native and third-party tools, including CloudEndure DR, offered by AWS, and reduce the complexity of DR, and turn it into an easy, “one-click” process.
TransitionManager orchestrates every phase of complex migrations from discovery of the environment, analysis and planning, failover testing, to full failover and failback.
And the difference is measurable. It eliminates manual input and the associated errors and redo’s that traditionally go along with DR processes. It streamlines the hand-offs between teams and tools into one unified, intelligence-driven toolchain.
The Results
For one enterprise customer, TransitionManager enabled the orchestration of CloudEndure DR, testing and failover operations without affecting primary systems. Leveraging automation, it drastically reduced the cost, operational impact, and staffing requirements typically required in DR efforts. With the ability to view through a single pane of glass and make collaborative decisions through a single automation portal for all the required tools in the process. This automated connectivity between teams and tools enabled an accelerated, repeatable process, moving more workloads faster.
- 98% reduction of manual entry errors
- 50% reduction in number of resources (often highly skilled, highly paid)
- 38% reduction in technical labor costs, reducing manual steps from 20 to 2
- 85% reduction in event execution time
TransitionManager: The Solution for Disaster Recovery
Rapid recovery from unexpected outages requires understanding dependencies for each application so you can quickly identify and bring those assets back online in the correct order and restore service. TransitionManager aggregates the disparate sources of information across IT into a single, accurate, actionable set of data, and presents it visually in an interactive map. When you can SEE how your apps work, it’s easy to identify dependencies across hybrid environments, and build and maintain always-accurate recovery plans.
Benefits
When you can SEE how your apps work, it’s easy to identify dependencies across hybrid environments, and build and maintain always-accurate recovery plans.
- No more spreadsheets
- On-the-fly runbook generation
- Flexible testing – supports any DR test method
- Audit trails for each application for proof of compliance
Full DR and App Recovery Project
When business systems go down, IT needs to quickly identify the root cause and restore service while adhering to business SLAs and any regulatory compliance requirements. But in a dynamic environment where the only constant is change, how can IT know where apps are hosted, which assets they depend on to run, and the correct order to restore each system? Is full system failover or high availability sufficient? And how does IT keep current with changing regulations, and updated customer SLA requirements?
TDS experts can help your team manage a complete solution for your organization. The process starts with Rapid App Mapping service, then we work with your team to define business and IT criteria for an app recovery strategy. In a pilot project, we’ll plan a full recovery test and execution plan for Tier 1 applications, and then execute the plan and make required changes. Your team will have the ability to dynamically generate runbooks to periodically test DR and recovery plans, or execute them when an outage occurs.
Rapid App Mapping for DR/App Recovery
Most IT organizations have many data sources, but no way to look at the data in one place. And they have many tools that automate migration and recovery – but these tools just move apps and workloads, and they need you to provide the configuration information and specific information about which assets move, in what order, and where they move to and from. TransitionManager solves these problems by creating an actionable set of data, and provides IT with a visual, app-centric view of complex, hybrid environments.
Working with your team, we will incorporate critical business facts, including RTOs, SLAs, and compliance requirements. We will provide an assessment of your apps and their supporting infrastructure and evaluate how they align with business criticality and risk levels. Your team will be able to identify exposure, make smart decisions about your apps to meet business and legal requirements.
Custom DR Plan
Most organizations have some type of DR plan in place, but because IT is such a dynamic environment, plans are often out of date. With TransitionManager, IT can generate a runbook that sequences the tasks to recover apps based on the current state of your environment. So your plans are always accurate and current. Whether you are looking to build a failover test plan for your whole site, a recovery plan for Tier 1 apps, or you’re at risk of a compliance violation and need proof of ability to recover,
TDS can help you build the plan you need. We have created recovery plans for large retail, manufacturing, healthcare organizations and banks – where there is no room for error. Our team integrate with migration and workload transport tools, saving you hours of configuration time, and enabling you to recover at scale. Bring your team piece of mind with on-demand recovery executed with precision, and without human error.
