Case study 02

Strengthening enterprise data protection and disaster-recovery resilience.

A practical, multi-tier approach to protecting on-premises and hybrid-cloud workloads, validating recoverability, and supporting long-term retention.

The delivery challenge

Protect business-critical workloads across enterprise infrastructure and hybrid cloud while balancing recoverability, retention, operational control, and long-term archive requirements.

My role

I designed and operated backup and recovery capabilities, supported resilience architecture, led technical discovery, produced solution documentation, coordinated vendors and stakeholders, planned implementation, validated recovery, and completed operational handover.

Delivery approach

1. Define protection requirementsMapped workload criticality, recovery expectations, retention requirements, and platform dependencies.
2. Build a tiered designCombined local backup, deduplication, immutable cloud retention, tape integration, and hybrid connectivity.
3. Prove recoverabilityPlanned and performed recovery validation, supported DR testing, and maintained restore evidence and runbooks.
4. Operationalize the serviceEstablished monitoring, documentation, handover, and coordination processes for sustainable operations.
