Case Study: Conner Strong & Buckelew achieves sub-30-minute disaster recovery and reduced bandwidth with Vision Solutions' Double-Take RecoverNow

Conner Strong & Buckelew - Customer Case Study

Conner Strong & Buckelew, a $1‑billion premium insurance firm with about 300 employees in NJ/PA, needed reliable, fast disaster recovery to protect customer data and maintain continuity. Their legacy SAN‑to‑SAN mirroring was slow to recover (up to four hours), couldn’t verify data integrity or be easily tested, and became unsupported—leaving only daily backups and unacceptable exposure.

They implemented Double‑Take RecoverNow for AIX to replicate data in real time to a backup server 70 miles away with continuous data protection and point‑in‑time restores. The switch cut recovery time to under 30 minutes, enabled fast resynchronization after outages, reduced bandwidth use from ~80–100 MB/s to ~2–4 MB/s, simplified recovery operations and restored confidence and peace of mind.
