Case Study: MCR Safety achieves continuous data protection and cost savings with Microsoft Azure Site Recovery

Maker of Safety Gear Protects Diverse IT Systems, Saves Money with Continuous Data Protection

MCR Safety, a 350‑employee manufacturer of protective gloves, glasses, and garments, faced growing risk from inadequate backups: its IBM-based daily backup approach couldn’t complete within windows as data volumes rose, causing network strain and SAP performance issues on AIX and VMware environments and leaving the business vulnerable to lost orders and downtime.

The company implemented InMage Scout (now Microsoft Azure Site Recovery) for continuous data protection and replication across AIX and VMware systems, enabling point‑in‑time “rewinds,” rapid restores in minutes, and migration or replication to a secondary datacenter or Azure. The result: stronger business continuity with no noticeable network impact, faster recoveries, and lower costs by protecting all workloads with a single cloud‑based solution.
