Case Study: Conner Strong & Buckelew achieves sub-30-minute disaster recovery and reduced bandwidth with Precisely's Assure MIMIX DR for AIX

Conner Strong & Buckelew - Customer Case Study

Conner Strong & Buckelew, a mid‑sized insurance firm, faced unacceptable recovery times and unreliable protection after its SAN‑to‑SAN mirroring failed and left the company with only daily file backups. To restore rapid, verifiable disaster recovery and reduce downtime, Conner Strong & Buckelew worked with Precisely to deploy Assure MIMIX DR for AIX.

Precisely implemented real‑time replication with Continuous Data Protection so the firm can perform point‑in‑time restores; recoveries now complete in under 30 minutes versus up to four hours before. The solution buffered changes during an HMC outage and resynchronized in less than an hour, cut bandwidth use from ~80–100 MB/s to about 4 MB/s (2 MB/s for changed data), simplified recovery testing, and restored confidence in data integrity and business continuity.
