A disaster recovery programme that ended with a full, unannounced regional failover exercise.

The challenge

Everline had a documented recovery plan and no evidence it worked. Recovery objectives had been set by the business without engineering input and had never been tested end to end.

What we did

We started by renegotiating the objectives against what the architecture could actually support, then engineered toward the agreed targets: cross-region replication, automated failover for stateful services, and rehearsed runbooks.

The programme concluded with an unannounced live exercise during a working day.

The result

Full regional failover completed in 11 minutes against a 30-minute objective, with no data loss. The exercise is now a quarterly commitment.
