Case Study: Furuno USA achieves fast disaster recovery and high availability with Fortra's Robot HA

Robot HA Makes for Smooth Sailing at Furuno USA

Furuno USA, a subsidiary of Furuno Electric Co., supplies marine electronics through a broad dealer network and operates a small IT team split between Washington and Maryland. Although they kept geographically separated backups, the team worried about recoverability and compliance and needed an affordable, low‑maintenance high‑availability solution.

They deployed Robot HA for IBM i to replicate executables, source and data. When a pipe burst drowned their Maryland backup server, Robot HA enabled quick resynchronization of months of transactions; the tool proved simple to install, requires minimal administration, restored confidence in their disaster recovery plan, and met their HA/DR requirements.
