Case Study: Skandia achieves fast, reliable Active Directory disaster recovery and peace of mind with Quest Recovery Manager

Even Insurance Companies Need AD Recovery Insurance

Skandia, a major Swedish insurance and financial services group, needed a more reliable way to protect its Active Directory as threats grew more sophisticated and its IT environment became more complex. Its existing disaster recovery plan relied on native Microsoft tools and manual procedures that were slow, hard to test and prone to human error—creating significant operational risk if AD were compromised.

Skandia implemented Quest Recovery Manager for Active Directory – Disaster Recovery Edition, using its virtual lab to automate testing and refine DR procedures. The solution enables fast, granular and full-forest/OS restores, reduces restore time and human error, ensures business continuity, and gives the IT team greater confidence and peace of mind; Skandia has since expanded its use of Quest tools.
