# Disaster Recovery

> Automated failover, replication, and recovery orchestration with nxtDR — minimize RPO/RTO and ensure business continuity.

NxtSight Disaster Recovery (nxtDR) delivers automated failover, continuous replication, and
orchestrated recovery for workloads running on NxtSight infrastructure.

With configurable recovery point and recovery time objectives, nxtDR helps you restore
critical systems rapidly after any failure — from hardware faults to site-level outages.
Storage costs run up to 70% lower compared to full-copy backup approaches.
