Case Study: RSM Australia achieves high availability in Azure with SIOS DataKeeper

RSM Australia protects 1,200 users in Azure with SIOS DataKeeper

RSM Australia, a professional services firm and part of the sixth-largest global audit, tax, and consulting network, faced the challenge of achieving the necessary uptime for a new centralized content management system on Microsoft Azure. They required a high-availability solution that could provide seamless failover for SQL Server, which Azure's native clustering could not support without expensive Enterprise Edition licensing. To solve this, they turned to vendor SIOS Technology and implemented its SIOS DataKeeper product.

The solution from SIOS Technology used SIOS DataKeeper to enable cluster-aware storage replication in Azure, creating a highly available hybrid cloud environment with an on-premises disaster recovery node. This provided RSM with seamless failover, a tested disaster recovery plan they could initiate at the push of a button, and the ability to create their own backups on tape media. The team reported complete satisfaction with the self-healing, reliable solution, which requires minimal daily management and just works.
