Disaster Recovery for Multi-Site Businesses: Protecting Branch Offices Without Multiplying Cost
Here’s the DR planning problem that businesses with multiple locations run into: the math doesn’t scale. If you have one office, you need one DR solution. Straightforward. But if you have five offices, or ten, or fifteen, the traditional approach says you need DR infrastructure at every site, or at least a secondary site that…
How to Build a Disaster Recovery Architecture on AWS with Veeam
Most organisations know they need disaster recovery. Far fewer know what a well-designed DR architecture actually looks like. The gap between “we have backups” and “we can recover our business in under an hour” is architectural. It’s the difference between storing copies of your data somewhere offsite and building a recovery environment that’s been pre-configured,…
The 7 Rs of AWS Application Migration: Choosing the Right Path for Each Workload
Most application migration projects fail the same way: someone picks a single strategy for the entire portfolio, then tries to force every workload into it.

Lift and Shift vs. Refactor: Choosing the Right AWS Migration Strategy
The debate over lift and shift versus refactoring is one of the most persistent in cloud migration planning. It’s also frequently framed as a binary choice when it shouldn’t be. Most organizations will do both — the question is which approach applies to which workload, and in what order. Getting this decision wrong is expensive.…
AWS Accelerator Program: How to Move to the Cloud Faster (and Cheaper)
Cloud migrations have a reputation for running over budget and behind schedule. That reputation isn’t entirely undeserved — migrations done without structure often do. But AWS has invested heavily in programs that give businesses a faster, cheaper path to the cloud, and most organizations don’t know they exist or how to access them. The AWS…
DR Testing for Law Firms: Why ‘We Have Backups’ Isn’t Enough
The Dangerous Assumption “We have backups” might be the most dangerous phrase in law firm IT. According to the ABA’s 2023 Legal Technology Survey, only 34% of law firms have an incident response plan – and far fewer regularly test their ability to actually recover from a disaster. Having backups and being able to recover…
