CBTS Buys Recovery Point to Strengthen AI Data Safety

CBTS has completed the acquisition of Recovery Point Systems, a move designed to consolidate enterprise disaster recovery and cybersecurity capabilities under one roof. The transaction, whose financial terms remain undisclosed, integrates specialized recovery services into CBTS’s existing portfolio of AI-ready infrastructure and cloud security offerings.

This expansion is particularly significant as artificial intelligence workloads drive up data volumes and computing demands. By combining these resources, the company seeks to provide a more resilient foundation for organizations that rely on complex, interconnected digital environments where a single failure can have widespread operational consequences.

Merging Cloud Security With Recovery

The core of this partnership lies in the integration of managed Disaster Recovery as a Service with broader cyber resiliency measures. Recovery Point brings expertise in orchestrated recovery execution and measurable service-level agreements, while CBTS contributes its extensive network of cloud and security services. This synergy allows clients to address infrastructure hosting, resilience, and threat mitigation through a single provider rather than managing disjointed vendors.

According to Kristin Russell, CEO of CBTS, resilience has evolved from a technical IT task into a board-level obligation. The combined entity aims to modernize infrastructure, secure it against threats, and ensure rapid recovery under pressure. This approach addresses the growing complexity of operating across hybrid, multi-cloud, and legacy environments, where traditional siloed solutions often fall short.

High-Standard Facilities For Critical Workloads

Recovery Point operates Tier III data centers that are fiber-dense and positioned for future expansion. These facilities support colocation offerings that allow businesses to house their infrastructure alongside advanced recovery systems. This physical robustness is critical for supporting the heavy data throughput required by modern AI applications, ensuring that performance remains stable even during critical incidents or system failures.

The infrastructure supports a wide range of clients, from Fortune 500 corporations to small and midsize businesses, as well as federal and local government entities. The system is designed to handle complex multi-platform environments, including legacy mainframe systems that many large organizations still depend on. This versatility ensures that the recovery solutions are not limited to modern cloud-native applications but cover the full spectrum of enterprise technology stacks.

Addressing Modern Cyber Threats

The expanded platform includes specific tools for tackling contemporary threats, such as Ransomware Recovery as a Service and AI-powered backup validation. These features are designed to detect and mitigate risks before they escalate into full-scale outages. By incorporating automated validation and recovery testing, the service aims to provide performance assurance that goes beyond simple data backups, focusing on the actual ability to restore operations quickly.

Recovery Point’s expertise has been recognized in industry analyses, including Gartner’s Market Guide for Disaster Recovery as a Service, where it was classified as an Evolved Traditional Disaster Recovery Provider. This recognition underscores the provider's capability to handle sophisticated recovery scenarios. For CBTS, which serves over 3,000 clients across North America through its OnX Canada division, this acquisition strengthens its position as a comprehensive technology partner capable of delivering end-to-end solutions for enterprise resilience.
