Case Study: St. Paul Travelers achieves resilient business continuity and rapid server deployment with Virtustream

St Pauls Traverlers - Customer Case Study

St. Paul Travelers’ UK operation needed to migrate to its US parent’s infrastructure while addressing an overcrowded, underutilized data center and establishing a self-sufficient business continuity solution between two UK sites (London and Redhill). The challenge required automated, rapid server builds and dependable failover without being limited by “tomorrow’s” promises.

Virtustream implemented a VMware-based private cloud with SAN-to-SAN replication, piloting virtualized storage and servers and proving dynamic failover between sites 50 miles apart. The rollout delivered true business continuity, centralized administration, reduced IT estate and support costs, faster automated server deployment, higher uptime, environmental savings and a cost-effective disaster recovery platform — outcomes that led St. Paul Travelers to virtualize the remainder of their environment.
