Case Study: National Distribution Alliance (NDA) achieves real-time data protection and near-instant recovery with Precisely's Assure MIMIX DR for AIX

National Distribution Alliance (NDA) - Customer Case Study

National Distribution Alliance (NDA), which delivers time-sensitive periodicals to 10,000 New York metro retailers daily and operates 365 days a year, faced unacceptable risk from nightly tape backups: slow, manual recoveries, up to a day of data exposure, and frequent opportunities for human error. To address that challenge NDA implemented Precisely’s Assure MIMIX DR for AIX as a modern disaster recovery alternative.

Precisely’s Assure MIMIX DR for AIX continuously replicates production changes to a standby server (with WAN-optimized compression), automates recovery runbooks to eliminate manual steps and human error, and provides Continuous Data Protection plus point-in-time snapshots for realistic test environments. The result for NDA: real-time replication, almost immediate recovery in minutes instead of hours or days, elimination of manual recovery errors, and greater confidence in business continuity — in short, measurable improvements in RPO/RTO and operational reliability provided by Precisely.
