Case Study: Ashurst achieves global high availability and disaster recovery with Neverfail Continuity Engine

Global Law Firm Ensures Against IT Systems Failure with Continuity Engine

Ashurst, a leading international law firm with offices worldwide, needed a stronger business continuity strategy after a snowstorm shut down its New York offices for a week and a backup-based recovery took two days. The firm turned to Neverfail and its Continuity Engine to meet very aggressive recovery time objectives, maintain access to critical applications and files, and support 24/7/365 operations across its global offices.

Neverfail deployed more than 50 Continuity Engine instances across Ashurst’s sites, with each location configured to fail over to a distant secondary site. The result was global high availability and disaster recovery with seamless failover, including during maintenance and outages, so staff could keep working without disruption. Ashurst reported that all servers remain accessible despite threats to service and that the solution eliminated the multi-day downtime previously caused by tape-based recovery.
