Recovery Point Systems

Workload support

Provider-documented

Recovery Point lists IBM Z mainframe, IBM Power (AIX and IBM i) and x86 Windows and Linux as supported DRaaS platforms. [1] [9]

For IBM Z and IBM Power it describes storage-based replication, typically IBM Global Mirror or Dell EMC SRDF. The IBM Power design also names Pure Async replication for AIX. The IBM Z design offers DASD-based and VTS-based replication. [1] [3] [2]

For x86 it describes continuous data protection powered by Zerto and image-based replication powered by Veeam. It names VMware experience and says physical, virtual or cloud servers can replicate to its hot site. [4] [5] [8] [7]

Recovery locations

Provider-documented

Recovery Point calls its Germantown, Maryland data center its flagship facility. A published insurer case study was hosted there. [10] [13]

It describes locations in Maryland and Illinois, with purpose-built DR recovery centers and Uptime Institute Tier III certification in Maryland. The Illinois site’s role is not described. [9]

Its work areas sit in a 36,000-square-foot Maryland data center that it places more than 25 miles from Washington, D.C. [6]

Testing scope

Provider-documented

Recovery Point says its technical experts support all recovery tests and disaster declarations. [6]

Its IBM Z and IBM Power designs list annual test time as a sizing input and include connectivity for remote testing. The number of included tests is set per contract, not published. [2] [3]

Work areas range from individual desks to private offices. The published insurer case study describes quarterly DR testing; that is one customer’s program, not a standard entitlement. [6] [13]

Cost details

Provider-documented

No prices are published. The IBM Z and IBM Power designs describe recovery infrastructure, and colocation of client-owned equipment, in a subscription-based model. [2] [3]

For IBM Z, Recovery Point describes VTS-based replication as the more cost-effective option, used for about a 24-hour RPO and a 24 to 72-hour RTO. DASD-based replication targets RPOs of seconds or minutes and RTOs of hours. These are design descriptions, not contract terms. [2]

For mainframe recovery it positions on-demand services as a way to avoid owning recovery hardware. [11]

CBTS announced its acquisition of Recovery Point in September 2026 and now offers DRaaS through it. Confirm the contracting entity and any changes to terms in the proposal. [12]
