Case Study: Girard National Bank achieves near-real-time recovery and rapid failover with Vision Solutions' Double-Take RecoverNow

Girard National Bank - Customer Case Study

Girard National Bank, a family-owned community bank in Girard, Kansas with 10 branches and 170 employees, faced an unacceptable risk from relying on nightly tape backups: located in Tornado Alley, the bank needed absolute transaction integrity and fast recovery, but restoring a day's worth of lost transactions was time-consuming, costly and dependent on vendor assistance.

GNB deployed Double-Take RecoverNow for AIX to replicate data in near real-time to a backup server 250 miles away, cutting potential data loss to minutes and enabling one-click recovery and rapid failover. The solution also provides point-in-time snapshots for audits and testing, dramatically lowering recovery time and cost while letting the bank perform restores independently; staff praised its ease of use and vendor support.
