Case Study: Cementos Progreso achieves sub-4-hour disaster recovery and greater resilience with 11:11 Systems' Managed Recovery

Cloud recovery service strengthens resilience of cement manufacturer

Guatemala-based Cementos Progreso, founded in 1899 with about 1,800 employees, is a leading cement and construction materials manufacturer that faces high natural‑disaster risk. The company needed an off‑site disaster recovery solution outside Guatemala to protect 12 critical business applications (including SAP), shorten recovery time, and avoid large capital and maintenance expenses associated with a traditional colocation approach.

Cementos Progreso implemented 11:11 Managed Recovery, an automated, managed replication and failover service with 24x7 monitoring. The solution delivers an RPO of under 30 minutes and an RTO of under four hours, eliminates the need for capital investment, lowers ongoing costs versus colocation, and was deployed seamlessly—giving the company reliable, scalable recovery and the confidence to keep operations running after a disaster.
