Case Study: Carnival Corporation achieves dramatic Active Directory recovery — cutting recovery time from 72+ hours to under 2 hours with Quest

Carnival Corporation secures IT operations

Carnival Corporation, one of the world’s largest leisure travel companies with over 90 ships and roughly 48,000 employees, needed to secure and stabilize IT operations across its fleet. The company faced lengthy Active Directory recovery times (72+ hours) and required stronger security, compliance and reliable administration for shipboard and shore-based IT teams to ensure business continuity.

Carnival implemented Quest solutions — On Demand Recovery, Recovery Manager for AD DRE, Change Auditor and Active Roles — giving IT teams a single pane of glass for recovery and administration. The result: recovery times dropped from more than 72 hours to under two hours, while security, compliance and operational reliability across AD were significantly improved.
