Case Study: National Distribution Alliance (NDA) achieves near-instant disaster recovery and peace of mind with Vision Solutions' Double-Take RecoverNow for AIX

National Distribution Alliance - Customer Case Study

National Distribution Alliance (NDA), a Long Island City–based wholesaler that delivers time‑sensitive newspapers and magazines to 10,000 New York metro retailers daily, relied on nightly tape backups that left up to a day’s data unprotected and required hours or days to recover. The manual tape processes also created opportunities for human error, so NDA needed a faster, more reliable disaster‑recovery solution with minimal operational risk.

NDA implemented Double‑Take RecoverNow for AIX to provide continuous, real‑time replication to a standby server with WAN‑optimized transmission and snapshot capabilities. The solution eliminated most manual tape procedures, enabled minute‑level recovery and point‑in‑time restores, supported realistic test environments, reduced human error, and delivered the operational confidence — and “peace of mind” — the company needed.
