Case Study: Beijing Urban Construction Group achieves 1‑hour RTO and cost‑effective automated disaster recovery with OpenText PlateSpin Forge

PlateSpin® Forge delivers peace of mind with a cost-effective backup and disaster recovery strategy that meets business requirements

Beijing Urban Construction Group (BUCG) International Business Group is a large construction conglomerate (annual turnover > $10B, 26,500 employees) managing over 120 subsidiaries. Its business‑critical services—HR, ERP, project management and databases—ran on five physical servers and required a one‑hour RTO, but legacy backups were manual and weekly, recovery could take days, and disaster‑recovery testing was impractical.

BUCG deployed PlateSpin Forge, an all‑in‑one disaster‑recovery appliance that integrates with existing storage, automates virtual snapshots (every 12 hours) and provides one‑click testing. The solution delivered cost‑effective, automated backups and testing, met the one‑hour RTO (tests reached 30 minutes), simplified administration, freed IT resources for other priorities, and gave the company reliable, worry‑free recovery.
