## Taking an Energy Utility from Vulnerable to Recovery-Ready

 ![Man working on a laptop while a colleague reviews a phone nearby]()

Facing unsupported disaster recovery (DR) infrastructure, the loss of a recovery vendor option, and growing concerns about outage readiness, this energy cooperative needed a more resilient approach to disaster recovery. They were relying primarily on backups, without a validated recovery path or proven recovery objectives. By implementing a fully managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) platform from Expedient with geographically separated infrastructure, the team established a reliable recovery strategy designed to withstand local disruptions.
