Abstract: A disaster recovery system includes a first IHS (Information Handling System) at an edge location. A monitoring client operating on the first IHS collects snapshots of an application operating on the first IHS and transmits the snapshots to a recovery client operating at a remote location. The first IHS also transmits periodic signals to the recovery client. The disaster recovery system also includes a second IHS at a datacenter location. A recovery client operating on the second IHS receives and stores the snapshots of the application operating on the first IHS and initiates failover operations of the first application using the stored snapshots upon failure to receive the periodic signals from the monitoring client.
