Case Study: Truly Semiconductors achieves 30-minute system recovery and reduced IT costs with NetIQ's PlateSpin Forge

Truly Semiconductors - Customer Case Study

Truly Semiconductors Limited, a China‑based electronics manufacturer with about 15,000 employees, was facing rapidly rising costs from unplanned downtime as its business expanded. With growth outpacing its traditional backup approach and no budget for a full mirrored infrastructure, IT needed a cost‑effective way to protect data and keep key systems running during production server failures.

Truly Semi deployed Micro Focus PlateSpin Forge to take incremental backups of targeted physical servers and run them as virtual machines when hardware fails; the rollout and testing took two weeks. The change cut recovery time for critical systems from about six hours to 30 minutes, increased backup frequency from once daily to every four hours (with one‑week retention), reduced IT administration costs by at least 5% and boosted staff productivity by 10%, while providing an intuitive interface for monitoring and DR testing.
