Customer Profile:

An award-winning, national supplier to the automotive industry that had recently transitioned from Windows to Linux servers for their vital growing ecommerce web server infrastructure.

Challenge

The company wanted to replace its manual disaster recovery process with an automated, streamlined solution. The Senior Systems Administrator (SSA) says, “We looked for years for something like CloneManager. Something that would help us automate the process of having a backup server ready to be booted up in the event of a failure.”

Solution

CloneManager is currently used on 9 web servers that support the primary business, with plans to extend its usage as new business ventures emerge. Once each web server has been cloned, the Clone Sync feature of CloneManager is utilized twice a week for live syncs between the production systems and target clones. Only data that has changed since the original clone is copied. The SSA comments, “CloneManager is so easy to install and use, and the ability to schedule syncs means I don’t have to waste time re-cloning.” In a DR test, the company failed over all 9 of its web servers to its DR center. Once the server clones were re-booted, the web servers were back online and fully functional. 

Result

“It used to take us around 12 hours to test our servers, it now takes less than one hour. We no longer have to rebuild servers and run lengthy checks for software updates. Our websites are essential to our business – I now have complete confidence that should a disaster happen, we can quickly and fully restore them.”
