Case Study: Beaulieu Group achieves sub-30-minute recovery and 3.5-hour migration with Precisely (Assure iTERA HA)

Beaulieu Group - Customer Case Study

Beaulieu Group, a large U.S. carpet manufacturer, faced costly hot‑site subscriptions and long recovery windows—two to three days with recovery points tied to tape saves up to 24 hours old. After a production IBM i failure that required a full tape reload and two days of downtime, VP of Information Systems Tommy Barge pursued an internal high‑availability solution and evaluated Precisely’s Assure iTERA HA.

Precisely implemented Assure iTERA HA to provide continuous replication and streamlined migrations; the solution eliminated nearly 14 hours of month‑end downtime, reduced daily/monthly tape‑save outages, and enabled a server consolidation and migration that took just 3.5 hours instead of the previous ~36 hours. Precisely’s approach also cut ongoing risk and cost—downtime for failures is now limited to about 30–45 minutes, and software/maintenance savings from new servers further offset expenses.
