Cloud IBR is a specialized provider of Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), focusing specifically on delivering automated, secure, and rapid recovery solutions for organizations utilizing Veeam backup software. Founded to address the critical "last mile" of disaster recovery—the actual restoration of services after a catastrophic failure or cyberattack—Cloud IBR provides a turnkey cloud platform that transforms passive backup data into active, functioning infrastructure.
The company serves a global market, with a particular focus on mid-market enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) who require sophisticated recovery capabilities without the overhead of maintaining a secondary physical data center. Cloud IBR’s core offering centers on its ability to orchestrate the entire recovery process. This includes the automated provisioning of cloud resources, network reconfiguration, and the execution of recovery runbooks.
In an era where ransomware represents a constant threat, Cloud IBR has positioned itself as a critical layer in the modern security stack. Their platform is designed to house immutable backups and facilitate "clean room" recoveries, ensuring that organizations can restore operations without re-infecting their environments. By focusing on the Veeam ecosystem, Cloud IBR provides a deep level of integration that generic cloud providers cannot match, offering a purpose-built destination for offsite data protection and business continuity. Their history is defined by a commitment to reducing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) from days or weeks to mere hours, providing a predictable and repeatable process for digital resilience.
Company Differentiation
Cloud IBR distinguishes itself through a "security-first, recovery-always" philosophy that bridges the gap between traditional IT infrastructure and modern cybersecurity. Unlike legacy disaster recovery firms that focus primarily on hardware redundancy, Cloud IBR operates with the mindset that a cyberattack is the most likely cause of a disaster. Their business model is built on transparency and predictability, offering fixed-price recovery tiers that eliminate the "cloud exit fee" anxiety often associated with hyperscale cloud providers.
The company culture is rooted in proactive resilience. They prioritize customer success by moving beyond the "set it and forget it" mentality of standard backup software. Cloud IBR acts as a strategic partner, emphasizing the human element of recovery by providing automated runbooks that guide IT teams through high-stress restoration events. This approach ensures that technical capabilities are matched by operational readiness, making them a unique ally for organizations that cannot afford the reputational or financial cost of extended downtime. Their commitment to simplicity in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape makes them a preferred choice for compliance-heavy industries.
Cloud IBR offers tiered packages based on recovery needs:
Immutable Air-Gap Tier: Focuses on providing a secure, offsite, 'locked' copy of Veeam backups. Ideal for organizations that just need a 'last resort' copy of data.
Standard DRaaS: Includes the automated orchestration engine. This tier allows for the automated recovery of VMs into AWS and is the most common choice for businesses needing fast RTOs.
Enterprise Managed DRaaS: A high-touch offering where Cloud IBR engineers assist in the design, testing, and execution of the DR plan, including complex multi-VPC networking and custom post-recovery scripts.
Compliance & Reporting Module: An add-on that provides automated, scheduled DR testing with detailed success/failure reporting for regulatory compliance.
Product Differentiation
The primary technical differentiator for Cloud IBR is its seamless, "one-click" recovery integration specifically designed for Veeam users. While many vendors offer cloud storage for backups, Cloud IBR provides a fully orchestrated recovery environment. Key product advantages include:
* **Automated Cloud Infrastructure Provisioning:** In the event of a disaster, Cloud IBR automatically provisions the necessary compute, storage, and networking resources in their secure cloud environment, eliminating the need for manual configuration during a crisis.
* **Immutable Storage by Default:** To combat ransomware, the platform utilizes immutable storage architectures that prevent unauthorized deletion or encryption of backup data, ensuring a clean copy is always available.
* **Isolated Recovery Environments (Air-Gapping):** They provide "Clean Room" recovery capabilities, allowing organizations to restore and scan their data in an isolated environment to ensure no malware is present before reintroducing it to the production network.
* **Pre-Configured Networking:** One of the most significant hurdles in disaster recovery is re-establishing connectivity. Cloud IBR automates the complex task of reconfiguring VPNs and IP addresses, drastically reducing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).
* **Automated DR Testing:** The platform allows for non-disruptive, scheduled testing of recovery plans, generating detailed reports that demonstrate compliance for auditors and insurance providers.
