Case Study: Hindustan Dorr-Oliver Ltd, India achieves real-time disaster recovery and 50% faster backups with Vision Solutions' Double-Take RecoverNow for AIX

Hindustan Dorr-Oliver Ltd - Customer Case Study

Hindustan Dorr-Oliver Ltd. (HDO), a Mumbai‑based public engineering, procurement and construction firm with about 1,300 employees and multiple offices across India, needed reliable disaster recovery after routine backups failed to replicate mission‑critical SAP production data to a secondary IBM AIX server. The failure—discovered on day 20—exposed configuration and bandwidth limits while HDO prepared to replicate roughly 170 GB of data and meet compliance and RPO requirements.

HDO deployed Double-Take RecoverNow for AIX with implementation support from Avnet Technology Solutions after a three‑week evaluation; the solution delivered fast, near‑real‑time replication, seamless failover within minutes and negligible data loss. By doubling WAN bandwidth and running replication off‑hours, HDO completed synchronization in five days, cut backup time by about half, and achieved an easy‑to‑deploy, user‑friendly DR capability that met its RPOs.
