Case Study: dmg events achieves real-time data protection and rapid recovery with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Availability

dmg events - Customer Case Study

dmg events, a Dubai-based event management firm operating across the Middle East and Asia with about 150 regional staff and 80 events annually, faced a critical challenge: event work relies on instant access to contracts, graphics and spreadsheets, and tape-based backups were too slow and incomplete. With immovable deadlines and the risk of disk failures or disasters, dmg needed a disaster-recovery solution that would let it recover 100% of its data immediately so events could continue uninterrupted.

Working with Vision Solutions, dmg deployed Double-Take Availability to replicate data in real time from two production HP servers to two offsite backup servers and SANs located about six miles away. The solution was installed in under a week, supports rapid manual failover (tested switchover ~15 minutes) and would be even faster with automated failover; results include real-time protection of all data, simple installation and maintenance, faster recovery measured in minutes rather than days, and operational peace of mind.
