Summary
This case study outlines the implementation of a Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution for Kingspan, a leader in insulation and building envelope solutions. The document describes the challenges faced by Kingspan, including a previous disaster recovery solution that resulted in an unacceptable Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of over 28 days, which left the business vulnerable to significant financial impacts due to extended downtime of their ERP systems. The case study details how Kingspan transitioned to a DRaaS solution powered by Zerto, managed by Meriplex Communications. The new solution reduced the RPO to 10 seconds, allowing for minimal data loss and improved operational efficiency. The document highlights the simplicity of the new system, successful test failovers, and the confidence gained in the solution's performance. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of continuous access to centralized ERP and Asset Directory systems for maintaining business continuity across Kingspan's North American operations.
