InMage & HP Opsware Deliver DR Automation

By InMage

This Case Study focuses on a leading Mortgage and Financial Banking Institution based in the Western United States. This firm has over $11B in assets and originates and services residential and commercial mortgage loans and also operates retail banking branches throughout the country. As the firm's data continued to grow at an exponential rate, it became increasingly critical to identify and implement an automated backup and disaster recovery solution that could meet its demands as well as satisfy compliance requirements inherent to the financial services industry.

The Challenge: Uninterrupted Access to Financial Applications and Improved Business Continuance with Automated DR

As a leading financial services firm, business continuance was an increasingly important business focus and the emergence of new disaster recovery technologies lead the firm to reevaluate its current approach. With an estimated $112M potential loss resulting from business critical applications down or severely impacted for five days, the firm recognized that its business continuance plan needed to be state-of-the-art. With more than 2000 Windows Servers, and 70 mission critical applications, the IT staff faced a daunting task of ensuring 24x7 access and availability to applications and data, and data center automation for DR was a must.
