Case Study: Dr. Lal PathLabs achieves continuous availability and rapid disaster recovery with Vision Solutions' Double-Take RecoverNow

Dr Lal PathLabs - Customer Case Study

Dr Lal PathLabs, a 3,000+ employee clinical pathology chain serving about 25,000 patients daily across India and beyond, faces a mission‑critical requirement for continuous IT availability—delays in test results can directly affect patient care. With an AIX/Unify application central to operations and tape restores taking 6–8 hours, the lab needed a high‑availability, low‑latency disaster‑recovery solution that would minimize system and bandwidth impact while cutting downtime from hours to minutes.

LPL implemented Double‑Take RecoverNow for AIX to provide real‑time, block‑level replication to a hot‑standby server located 1,700 km away, enabling fast failover with minimal network load. The solution has been proven in DR drills and delivered rapid recovery, sustained business continuity, regulatory and accreditation compliance, lower business risk, and an easy‑to‑manage administration console.
