Case Study: Elmer Candy Corporation achieves continuous ERP availability with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Availability

Elmer Candy Corporation - Customer Case Study

Elmer Candy Corporation, a long-established chocolate maker that relies on a highly seasonal business model (Valentine’s Day accounts for about 70% of sales), needed to eliminate any risk of downtime for its mission-critical Sage ERP X3 system. Running on a Hyper-V virtualized environment, the company required a high-availability and disaster-recovery solution that would protect ERP operations and data during peak production periods and unplanned events.

Elmer implemented Double-Take Availability to replicate the ERP server in near real-time to a backup virtual server on separate hardware, with plans to move the replica offsite. The solution delivered transparent, fast failovers, simple installation and low maintenance—tests produced only a momentary pause—providing continuous protection against downtime and data loss while requiring minimal IT oversight.
