Case Study: Samudera Shipping Line Ltd achieves 2X lower DR costs and 2X faster recovery with Google Cloud Platform

Samudera Shipping Line Ltd: Driving resilient business continuity in the cloud

Samudera Shipping Line Ltd, a Singapore-based maritime and logistics company, needed a more reliable, secure, and cost-effective disaster recovery setup to protect its container shipping and supply chain operations from outages, cyberattacks, or physical disasters. Working with Google Cloud Platform and its partner PointStar, the company chose Google Cloud VMware Engine and Google Cloud Backup and DR to replace its on-premise DR approach.

Google Cloud Platform helped Samudera Shipping Line Ltd launch an automated, on-demand cloud DR site in less than 3 months. The solution cut Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective by 50%, reduced operating costs by 2X, and improved IT productivity by removing the need for manual DR maintenance while enabling faster recovery and scalable, pay-as-used resources.
