Nationwide DR Strategy for Shaker Group

Shaker Group operates nationwide across multiple branches, each carrying production-critical workloads. Their existing approach to disaster recovery was fragmented: recovery procedures were manual, undocumented, and tested inconsistently across sites. The absence of clearly defined RPO and RTO targets meant that in the event of a disruption, recovery timelines were unpredictable. Legacy infrastructure added further operational risk — failover could not be validated with confidence, and the business had no assurance that service continuity objectives would be met under real incident conditions.

NAS Solutions — working alongside Huawei Cloud — designed and implemented a comprehensive DR strategy tailored to Shaker Group's operational profile and branch footprint. The engagement began with a workload classification exercise to define RPO and RTO targets for each system. From that baseline, NAS architected validated failover and failback procedures, replacing the previous ad-hoc approach with documented runbooks that could be executed consistently regardless of which site or team was involved. The solution was tested end-to-end before handover — failover was triggered under controlled conditions, recovery timelines were measured against the agreed targets, and the evidence pack was produced for internal governance and audit purposes.

Shaker Group now operates with a tested, documented DR posture covering all branches and production workloads. Manual, site-by-site recovery procedures have been replaced by consistent, runbook-driven processes with defined owners. Operational risk tied to legacy infrastructure has been materially reduced. The business can demonstrate to auditors, regulators, and leadership that its service continuity commitments are backed by tested architecture — not assumptions.

NAS continues with Shaker Group on a managed DR posture — quarterly failover drills, RPO/RTO re-validation, and runbook updates as new branches and workloads come online. The engagement now extends into ongoing assurance: every regulatory cycle is met with a refreshed evidence pack, and the DR architecture scales as the business grows.
