Cloud recovery isn’t done until the app runs

Most CAIRS tools rebuild your cloud infrastructure. Dreeze brings back the whole application, the data and every resource it depends on, mapped and recovered as one.

What is CAIRS?

CAIRS stands for Cloud Application Infrastructure Recovery Solutions, a new Gartner category for bringing back apps after an outage, attack, or bad change. It exists because simply restoring data stopped being good enough. Cloud apps also depend on the VPCs, IAM roles, keys, and so many other resources wired around that data.

CAIRS has “infrastructure” right in the name, and that’s where most tools stop. Some rebuild from IaC that may have drifted, while others do partial rebuilds but leave the data to a separate backup product. Either way, the app doesn’t come back in one piece.

Dreeze for cloud app recovery

The complete CAIRS package, built around the application instead of the infrastructure

The whole app, mapped

Dreeze discovers every resource in your live environment and maps it to the application it serves. No tags or IaC required, so you recover what’s actually running, not what someone meant to deploy.

Data and non-data, backed up together

Databases, volumes, and objects, plus the infra, config, identity, keys, and secrets around them, captured at the same recovery point in an immutable vault you own. It's one simple SaaS platform for both data and non-data instead of requiring a patchwork of standalone products.

Rebuilt in order, proven by test

Dreeze generates the plan to bring it all back in dependency order, then runs it as a non-disruptive test so you know it works before you need it. You get back a working app, not a parts list.

FAQs

What does CAIRS stand for?

Cloud Application Infrastructure Recovery Solutions. It’s an emerging Gartner category for tools that bring back whole cloud environments, not just the data inside them.

Is CAIRS the same as backup?

No, but it can’t work without it. Backup protects the data. CAIRS brings back everything around it. Dreeze does both, in one platform.

How is Dreeze different from other CAIRS tools?

Most focus on the infrastructure layer, rebuilding config or redeploying from IaC. Dreeze covers the whole application: it backs up the data and everything around it together, rebuilds it all in dependency order, and tests the result.

Do I need IaC for Dreeze to work?

No. Dreeze maps from your live environment. If you use IaC, great, but Dreeze doesn’t depend on it, which matters most on the day your IaC no longer matches what’s running.

Where do my backups live?

In a vault account you own, immutable and encrypted with your own keys.

How do I know a recovery will actually work?

Run it frequently, run it extensively, and you can even run it autonomously downscaled to save on costs. Dreeze tests the full plan in an isolated account without touching production, cleans up afterward, and leaves a report you can hand to auditors.
