Business Continuity

Managed Backup & Disaster Recovery
Protect What Matters Most

When downtime isn’t an option, your business continuity plan must be more than a document, it has to be operational. Hut 8 delivers business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solutions for high-performance computing environments, combining resilient infrastructure, disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), and backup as a service (BaaS/BUaaS).

Resilience That Matches the Speed of Your Compute

Modern enterprises face outages from cyberattacks, cloud misconfigurations, power events, and supply chain failures. A business continuity management plan aligns people, process, and technology so critical services remain available during and after incidents; exactly how NIST defines continuity planning.

Hut 8 pairs that planning discipline with high-availability HPC infrastructure and elastic recovery options, giving you a practical disaster recovery and business continuity strategy; not just theory.

BCDR isn’t optional anymore.
Your disaster recovery plan must assume disruption, quantify impact, and restore operations fast. With Hut 8 as your business continuity provider, you get a streamlined path to resilient operations, whether you need managed backup today or fully orchestrated DRaaS tomorrow

Our Solutions

End-to-end resiliency services: including disaster recovery, backup, redundancy, and failover capabilities; that ensure your business stays operational, protected, and compliant in any scenario.

1
Business Continuity Planning Built on Leading Standards

We help you design and operationalize a business continuity plan aligned with the highest industry standards, risk assessment, business impact analysis, recovery strategies, testing, and continuous improvement.

2
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)

Orchestrated recovery of compute, storage, and applications into Hut 8’s resilient environments. DRaaS is increasingly preferred for its speed, flexibility, and reduced capital cost versus secondary data centers.

3
Backup as a Service (BaaS / BUaaS) & Managed Backup

Automated, policy-driven backups stored securely offsite, with 3-2-1 design options, immutability, and rapid restore. BaaS protects data; DRaaS restores full operations; together they form complete business continuity and disaster recovery coverage.

4
Optimized Disaster Recovery for HPC Workloads

HPC recovery requires more than VM rebooting. We optimize recovery sequences for GPU/CPU clusters, storage throughput, and job schedulers so you return to performance fast; not just “online.”

5
Ransomware-Resilient Architecture

Immutable backups, isolated recovery zones, and tested runbooks reduce blast radius and recovery time when cyber incidents hit; one of the main drivers behind the rapid DRaaS market surge.

6
Continuous Testing & Governance

A business continuity management plan only works if it’s exercised. We provide scheduled DR tests, change-aware runbooks, and reporting to prove readiness.

How We Build Your Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Program

Map Risk & Critical Dependencies

We identify where disruption hurts most; across data, applications, facilities, networks, and teams; so, your business continuity plan targets the right failure points first.

Quantify Business Impact (BIA)

A structured business impact analysis defines tier-1 services, peak-load demands, and financial/regulatory stakes, forming the backbone of your business continuity management plan.

Define Recovery Targets (RTO/RPO)

We set realistic, SLA-aligned recovery time and recovery point objectives tailored to HPC workloads, ensuring disaster recovery and business continuity performance under pressure.

Choose the Right Recovery Model

Based on your objectives, we design the best-fit mix of managed backup, backup as a service (BaaS/BUaaS), disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), or multi-site continuity.

Automate Protection & Failover

We implement replication, backup policies, and orchestrated failover so your disaster recovery plan is operational, repeatable, and ready when needed.

Prove Readiness Through Testing

Scheduled simulations validate your disaster recovery and business continuity strategy, tightening runbooks and continuously optimizing recovery outcomes.

FAQ

Q
What’s the difference between Backup as a Service (BaaS/BUaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)?
A

BaaS/BUaaS provides managed backup; copies of your data stored securely and recoverable on demand. DRaaS goes further, replicating systems and orchestrating failover so applications and compute come back online fast. Most high-availability strategies use both.

Q
Do I need a business continuity plan if I already have backups?
A

Yes. Backups protect data, but a business continuity plan covers end-to-end operations: people, facilities, vendors, apps, and recovery processes. Without a continuity management plan, restores can still take too long to meet RTO/RPO requirements.

Q
What are RTO and RPO, and why do they matter for HPC?
A

RTO is how quickly services must be restored; RPO is how much data loss is acceptable. HPC workloads often need tight RTOs (jobs restart fast) and low RPOs (data integrity), which is why optimized disaster recovery is essential.

Q
How does Hut 8 protect against ransomware and cyber-driven outages?
A

We use immutable backup options, isolated recovery environments, encryption, and regularly tested runbooks, core best practices in modern BCDR.

Q
What makes your managed backup and BaaS superior to competitors?
A

Hut 8's managed backup and BaaS leverage geo-redundant storage, AI-driven deduplication, and 24/7 monitoring across five Canadian data centers, reducing storage costs by up to 40% while guaranteeing data integrity. As business continuity providers, we emphasize Canadian sovereignty and seamless integration with your business continuity management plan.

Q
Can I customize a business continuity plan with Hut 8?
A

Absolutely. Our experts craft bespoke business continuity plans, incorporating your specific RTO/RPO needs, HPC requirements, and risk profile. From initial assessment to ongoing testing, we weave in disaster recovery and business continuity elements for proactive protection.

Q
What uptime guarantees do your data centers provide for optimized disaster recovery?
A

All Hut 8 facilities deliver 99.9% or greater uptime, backed by N+1/2N redundancy in power, cooling, and networks. This foundation enables our optimized disaster recovery services to handle HPC loads with minimal disruption, ensuring business continuity in even the most challenging scenarios.

Q
How often should disaster recovery testing happen?
A

At least annually for full failover tests, and more frequently for critical systems or high-change environments. Regular testing is required by leading frameworks like NIST and ISO-aligned BCMS programs.

Q
Can Hut 8 act as our business continuity provider even if parts of our stack are elsewhere?
A

Yes. We support hybrid continuity models, protecting data with BaaS/BUaaS, orchestrating DRaaS for supported workloads, and integrating with your existing tools and governance.
