As enterprises scale across hybrid and distributed infrastructures, disaster recovery (DR) strategies must evolve to be faster, smarter, and more secure. Yet over 60% of organizations still miss their recovery time objectives (RTOs), largely due to fragmented tooling, manual interventions, and limited testing. This session presents a unified disaster recovery approach architected for the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem enabling single-click failover, secure isolation, and automated testing across environments.

At the heart of this platform is a dual-layer isolation framework that combines micro-segmentation and container-level boundaries to prevent lateral threat movement and preserve data integrity during recovery. Immutable, air-gapped replication with read-only snapshots reduces breach risk by 72% compared to traditional DR models. Automation drives significant operational gains: organizations can replicate production environments including applications, data, and configs with one click, achieving 5x more frequent, disruption-free testing. One global financial services firm saw a 80% reduction in DR test time and improved recovery consistency across 27 units.

The solution also ensures compliance via policy-as-code enforcement and cryptographic audit trails, supporting sector-specific regulations in finance, healthcare, and the public sector. Proven results include a 50% cut in DR-related costs, 43% fewer recovery errors, and seamless cross-site failover. Designed for IT leaders, architects, and continuity planners, this session offers actionable insights on building resilient, policy-driven DR using Fabric-compatible cloud-native patterns.
