DR · Abu Dhabi
Emirtech Technology designs, deploys and manages disaster recovery strategies for regulated industries, financial services, healthcare providers and enterprises across Abu Dhabi that cannot afford unplanned downtime.
In short: This page covers “Disaster Recovery Solutions”. Emirtech's own engineers carry out the work, as an independent integrator serving Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. A site survey or assessment comes first, then a written itemised quotation.
| Who provides it? | Emirtech Technology, based at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, in operation since 2018. The work is carried out by Emirtech's own engineers. |
|---|---|
| Where? | Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, served from Emirtech's Mussafah, Abu Dhabi base; there is no Al Ain office. In Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself; CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating. |
| What is covered | Disaster Recovery Solutions. |
| Survey and quotation | Emirtech publishes no price list: it surveys or assesses first and then gives a written, itemised quotation. |
| Credentials | Emirtech is an independent systems integrator. It holds no manufacturer-level credential of its own, and its ADMCC approval covers security systems only, not IT services. |

An unplanned outage — whether caused by hardware failure, ransomware, human error, power disruption or a network fault — can suspend operations for hours or days if no tested recovery plan exists. For organisations in Abu Dhabi's regulated sectors, the consequences extend beyond revenue loss: patient care at healthcare facilities may be affected, financial transactions at ADGM firms may be blocked, and production schedules at Mussafah Industrial or Khalifa Industrial Zone sites may halt. Emirtech Technology, a systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) headquartered at Mussafah, works with organisations to define realistic Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO), then design and implement the infrastructure, replication and runbook processes that make those targets achievable. Our role is to assess your current environment, identify single points of failure, configure off-site or cloud-based replication, establish a secondary DR site where required, and conduct scheduled failover tests so that recovery procedures are verified — not assumed. Emirtech can scope DR planning, testing and ongoing maintenance under an annual maintenance contract for organisations such as Saadiyat cultural venues, Masdar technology businesses and Yas Island hospitality operators. As a systems integrator we are not affiliated exclusively with any single vendor — we select and combine the platforms best suited to each client's workload and budget.
What we provide
Before specifying any technology, Emirtech works with your IT and business stakeholders to identify which systems are critical, how long each can be unavailable, and how much data loss is tolerable. These targets — RTO and RPO — drive every subsequent design decision and prevent both over-engineering and under-protection.
Emirtech configures continuous or scheduled replication of servers, virtual machines and databases to a secondary location — an off-site data centre within the UAE or a private cloud environment. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) options are assessed where cloud-based failover suits the client's RTO and budget requirements.
Where a physical or co-located secondary site is required, Emirtech scopes, procures and configures the standby infrastructure — servers, storage, networking and UPS — so that it mirrors the production environment and can accept a failover without manual reconfiguration under pressure.
A DR plan that has never been tested provides false confidence. Emirtech conducts scheduled failover exercises — isolating the production environment and activating the DR site — then documents the results and updates the runbook so the procedure is accurate, repeatable and executable by your team without external assistance.
Replication and backup are not the same. Emirtech validates that backup jobs are completing, that data is consistent, and that individual files, databases and virtual machines can be recovered within the agreed RPO window. Restore tests are scheduled regularly, not performed only after an incident.
Recovery objectives drift as environments change — new servers, updated applications and increased data volumes can all invalidate an existing DR design. Emirtech's annual maintenance contract covers periodic DR health checks, replication monitoring, runbook updates and re-testing to keep your recovery capability aligned with your current infrastructure.
As a systems integrator, Emirtech specifies and configures disaster recovery infrastructure drawn from a range of established platforms, selected to match each client's environment, RTO/RPO targets and budget. We are not an authorised dealer or exclusive partner of any of these vendors — our value is in designing a coherent DR architecture and managing it reliably over time.
For context on how DR infrastructure connects to your broader server and virtualisation environment, see our server and IT infrastructure services. A full overview of on-premise and hybrid IT design is available on our IT infrastructure page. To discuss your organisation's specific recovery requirements with our Abu Dhabi team, request a free consultation — there is no charge for the initial assessment.
Disaster recovery requirements differ by industry, regulatory environment and the nature of each organisation's critical systems. Emirtech can scope DR strategies for the following Abu Dhabi environments:
If your sector is not listed, the underlying DR methodology — assess, design, configure, test and maintain — applies universally. Contact Emirtech to discuss your specific environment.
