Case Study: Tufton Oceanic achieves sub-3-hour disaster recovery with Vision Solutions (Double-Take Availability)

Tufton Oceanic - Customer Case Study

Tufton Oceanic is an Isle of Man–headquartered fund manager specializing in maritime, energy and transportation infrastructure with offices across London, Dubai, Cyprus, Hong Kong and Singapore. Because its fund managers rely on real‑time applications to monitor fast‑moving markets, prolonged downtime—made worse by the Isle of Man’s slow hardware replacement timelines—posed a serious financial and regulatory risk; Tufton needed rapid recovery and near‑complete data protection if its primary systems failed.

Tufton implemented Vision Solutions Double‑Take Availability to continuously replicate more than 300 GB across four production servers to virtual replicas in Hong Kong, and used Riverbed Steelhead WAN optimization over a 10 Mbps MPLS link to overcome 6,000+ miles/240 ms latency. The solution delivered a realistic RPO of about 10 minutes, cut full failover time from 48–52 hours to under 3 hours, moved 400 GB in four days, requires minimal day‑to‑day administration, and improved SLA compliance—giving the firm reliable, ready‑to‑run disaster recovery and peace of mind.
