A regional logistics company with 35 employees lost access to their dispatch system for an entire day after a server crash. Zevonix built a disaster recovery plan that now guarantees recovery in under 2 hours.
This logistics company ran their dispatch, routing, and invoicing software on a single aging server with no backup plan. When that server failed, the entire operation stopped — trucks couldn't be dispatched, drivers had no route info, and invoicing was frozen. The 24-hour outage cost them an estimated $45,000 in delayed shipments.
🔍 Step 1: Discovery & Strategy
We mapped every critical system — dispatch, routing, invoicing, email — and assessed the business impact of losing each one for various time periods.
🎯 Step 2: Tailored IT Solutions
We designed a tiered backup strategy with 15-minute snapshots for critical systems and hourly backups for secondary data, with offsite replication.
🚀 Step 3: Implementation & Deployment
We deployed backup infrastructure, configured automated failover, and performed the first full recovery test — all during off-hours with zero business disruption.
🛡️ Step 4: Security Fortification
We encrypted all backup data in transit and at rest, implemented access controls, and ensured compliance with customer data protection requirements.
⚙️ Step 5: Ongoing Support & Optimization
We monitor backup health 24/7, run quarterly recovery tests, and update the plan whenever systems change. Every test result is documented and shared.
📈 Step 6: Growth & Innovation
As the company grows and adds new systems, we expand the recovery plan to cover new infrastructure without gaps.
Zevonix designed and implemented a complete disaster recovery solution in 4 weeks. The company now has automated backups every 15 minutes, a tested failover system that switches to backup infrastructure in under 2 hours, and a documented recovery plan that every manager understands. When a minor hardware issue occurred 3 months later, the system failed over automatically and operations continued without interruption.
Passed SEC examination with no deficiency findings across cybersecurity, data protection, email retention, and business continuity categories.
Complete compliance infrastructure deployed in 6 weeks — from zero documentation to examination-ready with all technical controls operational.
All advisor devices protected with BitLocker encryption and centralized key management, eliminating data exposure risk from lost or stolen devices.
SEC Rule 17a-4 compliant email archiving with immutable storage, supervisory review, and eDiscovery search capabilities deployed firm-wide.
Endpoint detection and response with round-the-clock monitoring, reducing mean time to detect threats from unknown (previously) to under 15 minutes.
Monthly phishing simulations and security awareness training reduced staff susceptibility from 35% to under 3% within 90 days.
Disaster Recovery Case Study
It depends on how much data you can afford to lose. For most businesses, we recommend at minimum hourly backups for critical systems. Logistics and operations companies typically need 15-minute intervals because even small data gaps can disrupt dispatch and routing.
Backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is a tested plan to get your business running again using that data. Many businesses have backups but have never tested whether they can actually restore from them — that’s where most plans fail.
Absolutely. We design hybrid solutions that protect both on-premise servers and cloud applications. Whether your critical systems run locally, in Azure, or in AWS, we create a unified recovery plan that covers everything.
A basic DR plan for a small business typically costs far less than a single day of downtime. We scale the solution to your budget and risk tolerance — protecting your most critical systems first and expanding coverage over time.
Yes, and we handle that for you. We run quarterly failover tests during off-hours to verify everything works. A disaster recovery plan that hasn’t been tested isn’t a plan — it’s a hope.
