MPM Municipal Continuity Services · MPM Recovery Pod
When the building is lost, your servers run in Atlanta
Free. No obligation, no purchase order, no credit card.
What it is
Recovery capacity on MPM-VDC in Atlanta, reserved for each Vault DR agency at onboarding and sized from that agency's server inventory.
What it is for
The day your building is lost to fire, flood, a hurricane or site-wide ransomware. Your servers are restarted as virtual machines from your Vault backups.
How fast
Critical servers running within 8 hours of a declared disaster. Standard-tier servers within 48 hours.
How your staff connect
Through a private VPN into a recovery network isolated for your agency, with multi-factor authentication.
Where recovery happens
Most incidents never reach the Recovery Pod. This is where recovery happens for each kind of event, from a single file up to a regional event.
| What went wrong | Where recovery happens | Which tiers | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| A file, folder or single server fails; the building is fine | From the local copy on your own backup hardware or Vault Edge appliance | Vault Standard, Plus and DR | Tier recovery time (4 h Standard, 2 h Plus and DR) |
| A file, folder or server fails, and there is no backup hardware on site | From the Atlanta Vault, over your internet connection | Vault Cloud | Set at the assessment, by data size and bandwidth |
| Your local backup hardware is lost; the building is fine | From the Atlanta Vault onto your repaired or replacement hardware | Vault Standard, Plus and DR | Tier recovery time, plus time to obtain hardware |
| The building is lost: fire, flood, hurricane, or ransomware across the site | Your servers run as virtual machines on the MPM Recovery Pod in Atlanta | Vault DR | Critical servers within 8 h; standard-tier servers within 48 h |
| Atlanta itself is affected (a rare regional event) | Backups restored from the Secondary Vault in Tampa onto rented compute | All tiers' data is protected; Vault DR agencies recover first | Best effort, with no loss of backed-up data |
| Recovery is over and your site is rebuilt | Systems move back from the Recovery Pod to your site (failback) | Vault DR | Scheduled with you |

Vault DR · Scheduled with you
From declaration to failback
01
Declare
Your designated contact declares a disaster by phone. We confirm the recovery order you agreed in the DR runbook.
02
Recover
Critical servers are restored onto the Recovery Pod first, then standard-tier servers.
03
Operate
Your staff work on the recovered systems over the private VPN while your site is rebuilt. Backups continue.
04
Fail back
When your site is ready, we move systems back on a schedule agreed with you and confirm every one.
Tested every year
Vault DR includes an annual DR exercise on the Recovery Pod: we bring your critical servers up there, your staff confirm they work, and you receive a written report. The DR runbook is updated from what the exercise finds.
If a disaster needs more
If an incident needs more capacity than is reserved, we add compute during the incident in the same Atlanta facility. It is the same Recovery Pod service, scaled up, not a different product.
