Case Study: Biopharmaceutical Company achieves real-time disaster recovery and expanded storage with ITsavvy

Biopharmaceutical Company - Customer Case Study

ITsavvy helped a biopharmaceutical company that was running out of space on its existing NAS system and needed a disaster recovery failover solution to protect key applications. The customer wanted real-time replication with minimal business disruption and a remote backup site in Sacramento to reduce earthquake risk from its San Francisco location.

ITsavvy implemented a new NetApp Filer NAS storage device for the San Francisco site, upgraded the IBM NAS software, moved the existing system to Sacramento, and completed remote configuration and testing. The result was doubled production storage capacity, hourly data replication to the disaster recovery site, and a full cutover completed in just four hours—half the time expected—while also simplifying backup and supporting compliance needs.
