Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) That Ends Downtime, Powered by Predictive BCDR
Move beyond reactive recovery. Our Datto-powered Predictive BCDR service delivers Datto DRaaS with the confidence of validated Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs).
What is DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service)?
Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) copies your servers, applications, and data to a secure offsite environment in real time, so your business can recover fast after an outage, ransomware attack, or natural disaster, without you having to build and maintain a second data center yourself. As your Datto Blue Diamond Partner, CIT delivers Datto DRaaS as part of a fully managed Predictive BCDR service, pairing that offsite protection with AI-driven monitoring and validated recovery testing.
Moving to Predictive BCDR
Rising complexity and constant threats mean traditional DR is obsolete. CIT introduces Predictive Business Continuity, an AI-first mandate that evolves data protection from a reactive expense to a proactive competitive advantage.
The Shift from Disaster Recovery to Total Confidence
Before
The Compliance Blind Spot
Regulatory exposure and non-compliance are perpetual threats in Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Finance. Your current plan is untested, unvalidated, and vulnerable.
After
Guaranteed Audit Readiness
You achieve guaranteed business continuity with RTOs and RPOs validated by continuous, non-disruptive testing and hard data reporting.
RTO & RPO Through BCDR Solutions
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is how quickly your systems are back up and running after a disruption. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is how much data your business can afford to lose, measured in time. CIT’s Predictive BCDR validates your RTOs in advance and targets RPOs as low as 5 minutes, so you know exactly what to expect before an incident happens.

Your Questions, Answered
Simple, direct explanations of how we achieve business continuity and validated uptime for your business.
What Is DRaaS (Disaster Recovery As A Service)?
Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) copies your servers, applications, and data to a secure offsite environment in real time, so your business can recover fast after an outage, ransomware attack, or natural disaster. Unlike simple cloud backup, DRaaS stands up a working, virtualized version of your entire environment. As your Datto Blue Diamond Partner, CIT delivers Datto DRaaS with validated Recovery Time Objectives, so you know what to expect before an incident happens.
What's the difference between DRaaS and backup?
Cloud backup stores copies of your files so you can restore them later. DRaaS goes further: it stands up a working, virtualized version of your entire environment – servers, applications, and configurations – so your team can keep operating within minutes.
What is Predictive BCDR and why is it essential for my business?
Predictive Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (Predictive BCDR) is an AI-first strategy that shifts focus from simply reacting to threats to proactively preventing data loss. It uses machine learning to anticipate failures and constantly validate recovery paths, ensuring your business remains online, guaranteed. For IT leaders, this means moving from perpetual defense to proactive strategy.
How does AI make Datto BCDR "predictive"?
Datto’s AI platform has two core functions: Anomaly Detection and Recovery Verification.
ML-Based Anomaly Detection: Machine learning analyzes backup data to flag suspicious changes consistent with ransomware or data corruption, alerting our NOC before damage spreads.
AI-Assisted Recovery Verification: The platform automatically performs screenshot and application checks, confirming that backups are not just complete but truly recoverable and bootable before you declare a disaster.
What is the advantage of choosing a Datto Blue Diamond Partner like CIT?
CIT’s Blue Diamond status (top 2% of Datto partners) translates directly into superior client benefits:
Faster Support: We leverage priority “Blue Support” and dedicated resources, which dramatically reduces your time-to-resolution when downtime matters.
Deeper Expertise: Your solution is architected and maintained by Datto-certified engineers with direct access to Datto’s product roadmap.
Proven Reliability: Our status implies the scale and performance consistency needed for reliable, long-term partnership stability.
How is your fully managed DRaaS different from a simple cloud backup solution?
Cloud backup is simply storage; DRaaS is a fully managed, instant recovery solution. Our service guarantees the ability to instantly virtualize and run your entire production environment in the Datto Cloud within minutes. This eliminates the risk of extended business interruption.
