Case Study: Accuride achieves improved performance and robust disaster recovery with NetApp

Accuride Improves Performance and Disaster Recovery for Business-Critical Applications with NetApp

Accuride Corporation, a leading supplier of commercial vehicle components, needed to boost reliability and disaster recovery for business‑critical systems (Exchange, SharePoint, SQL) as aging, nonvirtualized servers were limiting flexibility and risking costly downtime from severe weather and other disruptions.

Accuride implemented a FlexPod private cloud with NetApp storage and VMware at primary and DR sites and used NetApp SnapProtect for snapshot-based backups, replication, and efficient storage management. The deployment delivered faster application performance, met four‑hour RTO/RPO targets with 100% backup/restore success, and freed IT to focus on strategic initiatives.
