A primary system is established at a first site. The primary system hosts an application and a primary database for remote users that use the application to manage data of the primary database. A unified data layer is established at a remote site. The unified data layer provides access to data of the primary database without providing access to the primary database. A triggering event that impairs the ability of the primary system to host the application is detected. A recovery system is instantiated in response to detecting the triggering event. The recovery system includes both a recovery instance of the application and a recovery database for the data of the application. The recovery database is populated using the unified data layer. The recovery system is activated such that remote users can access the recovery instance of the application to manage data of the recovery database.
