Use Case: minimum viable company

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO RECOVER BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES

Recovery plans fail when they don’t match production reality. Mugato automatically maps every dependency and generates prioritized restoration sequences, so you know exactly which systems to recover, in what order, before disaster strikes.

How it works

FROM STATIC PLANS TO LIVING RECOVERY INTELLIGENCE

Five capabilities that turn disaster recovery from a static, outdated exercise into a continuously validated, dependency-aware program.

Continuous infrastructure synchronization

Recovery plans become outdated within weeks as systems migrate, applications evolve and dependencies shift. Manual plans based on outdated documentation fail.

Infrastructure is in a constant state of change. Mugato continuously detects every change, replacing static plans with living, always-current documentation. Recovery plans that don’t match reality fail during disasters. Sontinuous synchronization eliminates the gap between documentation and current infrastructure.

Restoration plans based on dependencies

When recovery is tested, teams spend hours figuring out which systems to bring up first, leading to failed restarts and cascading failures.

Mugato automatically maps system dependencies including communication patterns, data flows and shared resources, generating prioritized restoration sequences with step-by-step recovery steps based on observed behavior. Dependency-based sequencing ensures systems are restored in the correct order, reducing recovery time and preventing failed restarts.

Automated service dependency mapping

Teams can’t clearly define which applications are truly critical to revenue versus nice-to-have, leading to poorly scoped recovery plans.

Mugato links infrastructure to business services, giving leadership an authoritative view of which systems are truly essential and providing the sovereign control needed to define the minimum viable company. Correct scoping is the foundation of effective disaster recovery, protecting too much wastes resources; protecting too little exposes revenue streams.

Data-driven recovery validation

Manual DR testing is so expensive and disruptive that organizations only do it once a year, leaving them uncertain whether plans reflect reality.

Mugato provides accurate dependency data and automatically updated restoration sequences that enable teams to validate recovery objectives without full failover testing. Recovery plans built on real-time infrastructure data replace assumptions. Continuous validation against real dependency data means your recovery plans are always tested against current production reality.

Resource consumption tracking

Teams don’t know what infrastructure their DR site actually needs, so they over-provision or hope for the best.

Mugato tracks actual resource consumption across your infrastructure with minute-granularity temporal data, enabling proper sizing of disaster recovery sites based on observed utilization, not estimates. Under-provisioned disaster recovery sites can’t support minimum viable company workloads; over-provisioned sites waste budget.

Key Outcomes

0

MISSED DEPENDENCIES

Every upstream and downstream dependency traced automatically, ensuring no component is overlooked when defining minimum viable company.

24/7

CONTINUOUSLY CURRENT PLANS

Continuous collection ensures recovery plans match production reality as infrastructure changes.

100%

DEPENDENCY CHAIN VISIBILITY

Full dependency chains traced from observed behavior, including connections no one documented, so MVC scoping reflects what actually runs, not what people remember.

<30 MIN

INSTALLATION TO FIRST DATA

A single lightweight VM begins collecting within 30 minutes, with full dependency mapping in two weeks. Requires no agents or deployment project.

PAIN POINTS VS. PAINKILLERS

See how Mugato addresses the most common disaster recovery and minimum viable company (MVC) challenges.

the pain
the mugato painkiller
PLAN ACCURACY
DR plans are 18 months old, not reflecting infrastructure changes made since they were written
Continuous collection detects every change, so recovery plans always match production reality
RESTORATION ORDER
Hours spent during recovery tests figuring out which systems to bring up first
Step-by-step restoration plans with correct sequencing, eliminating guesswork and cascading failures
MVC SCOPING
No clear definition of which applications are truly revenue-critical versus nice-to-have
Service dependency mapping links applications to business services, enabling data-driven MVC scoping
TESTING COST
Manual DR testing too expensive and disruptive for more than annual execution
Dependency data and continuously updated restoration sequences enable validation without full failover
DR SITE SIZING
No visibility into actual infrastructure needs at the DR site, leading to over- or under-provisioning
Minute-granularity resource consumption determines actual capacity requirements for DR sites
CRISIS READINESS
No authoritative answer to which systems must keep running when a crisis hits
Business-capability mapping defines what’s essential before disaster strikes, regardless of staff availability
