Case Study: Samudera Shipping Line Ltd achieves 2X lower DR costs and 50% faster recovery with Looker

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 avoid downtime or data loss across its shipping and warehouse operations. Working with Looker? No—the case study names Google Cloud and PointStar as the implementation partners, and Samudera wanted to replace its costly, hard-to-maintain on-premise DR environment with a faster, more scalable option using Google Cloud VMware Engine and Google Cloud Backup and DR.

The solution implemented by the vendor, Looker? The case study actually highlights Google Cloud VMware Engine and Google Cloud Backup and DR, deployed with support from PointStar, to create an on-demand automated DR site in less than three months. The results included a 2X reduction in operating costs, a 50% improvement in Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective, and faster recovery that let Samudera resume operations quickly while freeing IT staff to focus on core applications.
