Disaster Recovery in Near Real Time

Flow International Corporation

Flow International relies on an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to manage its global operations. Replicating the ERP data is a critical element of Flow International’s disaster recovery (DR) strategy. This data is replicated from the main data center in Kent, Washington to a disaster recovery facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana using EMC RecoverPoint, which enables continuous remote replication and recovery to any point in time. In addition, Flow uses Microsoft Data Protection Manager (DPM) to replicate data from some of its other applications. Between the two DR applications, terabytes of replication data needed to travel over the company’s wide area network (WAN). Purchasing additional bandwidth was not considered due to the cost.

Challenges

  • Goal of replicating ERP data within 30 minutes
  • Terabytes of EMC RecoverPoint and Microsoft Data Protection Manager traffic
  • Prohibitive cost of additional bandwidth

Solution

  • Steelhead appliances deployed worldwide to optimize WAN traffic
  • Riverbed technology complements RecoverPoint’s native compression capabilities

Benefits

  • 98 to 99 percent WAN efficiency for DR traffic
  • All RecoverPoint traffic replicated within five seconds
  • Optimized bandwidth capacity increase of 7.94x
  • RPO and RTO targets met without increasing WAN costs
