Case Study: Meizhou Municipal Information Centre achieves 80% lower administration costs and rapid disaster recovery with OpenText PlateSpin Forge

The Meizhou Municipal Information Centre’s small staff provides and maintains information services to the city through the government portal site, extranet and data center

Meizhou Municipal Information Centre needed a reliable disaster recovery solution after testing multiple options to protect its government portal and extranet workloads. The team chose OpenText PlateSpin Forge because it outperformed competing products in maturity, performance, configurability, and security, and was easy to manage through a web-based console.

OpenText implemented PlateSpin Forge, a self-contained DR appliance that automatically backs up server workloads and supports fast recovery testing without affecting users. The centre completed installation and initial backups within 24 hours, restored systems in 15 to 25 minutes after a total crash, and cut administration costs by an estimated 80%, while also gaining confidence that services could be restored with no data loss within half an hour.
