Backup and Recovery for System Integrators Building and Supporting Critical Systems
System integrators (SIs) who build, deploy and often support critical DCS and industrial automation systems need to be confident that system recovery will work reliably after a failure.
DCS Systems Demand Fast, Predictable Recovery
System integrators don’t just deploy DCS and automation systems. They own uptime outcomes, carry SLA responsibility, and are often the first call when failures occur.
When failure occurs, systems must be restored quickly and consistently to a known good state, even on legacy systems and air-gapped networks, without cloud dependency or specialist intervention.
Backup and restore systems safely in air-gapped and bandwidth- constrained OT networks.
Support legacy operating systems and restore to dissimilar hardware when needed.
Protect stable, long system lifecycles with a stable product and perpetual licensing options.
Why System Integrators Choose Macrium
Recover systems quickly to minimize downtime and disruption
When a DCS system goes down, every minute offline can impact operations and service commitments.
Enable fast, full-system recovery to a known-good state- Restore operations quickly without rebuilds, trial-and-error, or prolonged outages.
Reduce SLA Risk and Support Cost
Slow or unreliable recovery drives escalations, emergency site visits, and contractual exposure.
- Macrium’s image-based recovery allows local teams to restore systems consistently, reducing "boots on the ground," limiting escalations, and lowering ongoing support costs.
Operate safely within real OT constraints
DCS environments are often air-gapped, bandwidth-constrained, and don’t tolerate change or performance impact. Macrium fits quietly into these environments.
- Enable consistent recovery without interfering with live control systems or operator workflows.
- Run backup and recovery fully offline, schedule backups, and allow explicit throttling of CPU and network bandwidth.
Support long‑term survivability
DCS environments routinely run for 10–25 years.
- Macrium supports legacy operating systems and restore to dissimilar hardware, ensuring systems remain recoverable even as components, vendors, and expertise change over time.
