Case Study: Los Alamos National Laboratory achieves real-time data protection and rapid recovery with Vision Solutions' Double-Take RecoverNow

Los Alamos National Laboratory - Customer Case Study

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), a U.S. national security research institute with nearly 12,000 staff and thousands of facilities, faced a critical data-protection challenge after a storage-array failure rendered tape backups unrecoverable. Because many LANL systems are classified and air-gapped, the lab needed a flexible, reliable backup and recovery solution that could replicate data in real time to an offsite location, preserve permissions, and support bare-metal restores without requiring Internet-based license validation or updates.

LANL deployed Vision Solutions’ Double-Take RecoverNow to replicate servers continuously at the byte level from Dell PowerEdge systems to an offsite server, enabling immediate, rapid recovery and straightforward bare-metal restores. The product was easy to install in LANL’s secure environment, passed recovery tests, and now delivers real-time protection, fast recovery, and simplified backup management — prompting plans to expand the solution to more servers.
