Centacare Disaster Recovery Strategy Transformation

This case study outlines the transformation of Centacare's disaster recovery strategy through a partnership with 11:11 Systems. Centacare, a prominent social services provider in South Australia, faced significant challenges with its aging disaster recovery infrastructure, which was not isolated from production systems and lacked the capability for full testing of recovery procedures. The organization sought to modernize its approach to disaster recovery to enhance cyber resilience and operational efficiency. The collaboration with 11:11 Systems began with a critical evaluation of Centacare's existing systems, leading to the implementation of 11:11 Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) for Zerto, along with cloud backup and object storage solutions. This multi-faceted strategy not only addressed immediate technical issues but also established a secure, air-gapped environment capable of withstanding cyber threats. The partnership marked a significant shift in Centacare's approach to IT and business continuity, emphasizing the importance of resilience and proactive risk management.
