Solution Brief: Cloud Disaster Recovery
Peace of mind & maximum uptime through Offsite Business
Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Industry: Manfacturing
Solution: Cloud DR (RapidRecovery)
Problem:
A leading manufacturing company needed their business critical
IT systems to be 100% resilient against any unforeseen events which
could cause disruption to processing and output. Their previous
Business Continuity plan was reliant on tape backups with standby
hardware - any system outage would have caused 24 hours downtime
and an estimated loss of £588k, including lost data, any associated
recover and future lost sales.
They asked Quantix to minimise this business risk by providing a
highly available and flexible DR solutions for their critical
server environment with the lowest possible Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO).
Solution:
Quantix provided the client with RapidRecovery - a fully
virtualised offsite recovery solution that provided a hot standby
site as well as day-to-day failover of servers to provide full
server business continuity. By using best-in-breed technologies,
the RapidRecovery provided our client with huge costs savings with
a 65% reduction in the Total Cost of Ownership for their DR plan
and a flexible payment plan tailored to their organisation.
With recovery time in under an hour, 24x7x365 real-time
monitoring and a data recovery point of minutes, the company's
business critical IT systems are now 100% resilient against any
events that could cause disruption to the business and the
potential financial loss.
The solution provided by Quantix is totally flexible, with
increased storage available on-demand, and no additional licensing
required for the DR environment. In addition, the service is fully
managed by our team of accredited engineers, with our support team
including specialist consultants across a range of vendors
including VMware, Citrix, Oracle and Microsoft, offering
comprehensive support options that are unmatched by any other
