Case Study: China Development Bank achieves faster recovery and lower disaster recovery costs with OpenText PlateSpin Migrate

The bank wanted to streamline its administrative processes, reduce risk and accelerate recovery by creating a single standardized backup and disaster recovery solution for its Microsoft Windows servers

China Development Bank needed a more flexible, standardized disaster recovery approach for its Microsoft Windows servers to reduce risk, speed up recovery, and eliminate complex, system-by-system backup processes. Its existing methods were labor-intensive and slow, sometimes taking more than a day to restore systems, and the bank wanted a solution compatible with both physical and virtual environments.

OpenText implemented OpenText™ Platespin™ Migrate to create scheduled, hardware-independent virtual replicas of production servers and automate backup and recovery. The result was a single, simple protection method that reduced IT workload, avoided human error, and enabled recovery in about 15 minutes—well within the bank’s 20-minute recovery objective—while also cutting hardware costs by reducing the need for dedicated standby servers.
