Customer Case Study: Fisher & Paykel Finance

42

Reduced recovery times and data loss

Challenge

• Minimize the risk of losing merchants and customers due to extended outages of key Fisher & Paykel Finance systems

Solution

• Implement vCenter Site Recovery Manager to reduce the time required to recover business-critical systems in the event of a catastrophic outage affecting one of Fisher & Paykel’s data centers

Results

• Ensured minimal loss of merchants, customers, and earnings in the event of a disaster

• Cut recovery times from weeks to one hour, and data loss from up to a day to five minutes

Customer Case Study: Acorda Therapeutics

43

Improved DR testing to meet regulatory requirements

Challenge

• Eliminate reliance on an offsite recovery-from-tape service

• Achieve reliable DR to meet internal needs and regulatory requirements

Solution

• Use vCenter Site Recovery Manager to automate site recovery and migration from Acorda Therapeutics’ primary datacenter to a second recovery environment

Results

• As a biotechnology company, Acorda is highly regulated. For that reason, it tests DR processes four times a year

• Before implementing Site Recovery Manager, tests would take an entire weekend. Now, they can test in a few hours

Customer Case Study: Columbia Sportswear Company

44

Migrated primary data center to a new location

Challenge• Facilitate the transition to server virtualization• Improve disaster recovery operations to enable testing and

compliance with certifications• House production environments offsite, in a new data

center built to improve DR operations

Solution• Implement vCenter Site Recovery Manager to increase

server virtualization with confidence and reliability

Results• Server virtualization increased to approx. 90% • Moved primary data center to the new location over a

couple of weekends with very little downtime to the end users

• Leveraged success with DR project to obtain buy-in for other virtualization projects with upper management

“We were able to move our primary data center over a couple of weekends with very little downtime to the end users, and that was all built on VMware technology,”

Avoided an outage during the Brisbane floods of early 2011

Challenge• Ensure critical systems are made available to QIC during

crises (such as the Brisbane floods of early 2011)• Ensure recovery within timeframes established in the

disaster recovery and business continuity plans

Solution• Use vCenter Site Recovery Manager to failover business-

critical applications and servers from a primary site to backup locations, quickly and without error

Results• Enabled continued management of client portfolios during

the Brisbane flood crisis• Reduced the number of people required to complete a

disaster recovery task from three to one• Accelerated recovery times for key systems
