Disaster Recovery Software Implementation Case Study

This document is a case study detailing the implementation of disaster recovery (DR) software for a leading financial services group in Africa. The organization faced challenges related to its complex IT infrastructure, which included various platforms such as Windows, Mainframe z/OS, VMWare, and AIX. The client sought a solution that would automate and manage their DR operations effectively while reducing recovery time objectives (RTO). The case study outlines the deployment of Perpetuuiti's Continuity Patrol™, which automated storage replication and DR drill activities. It describes how the software was configured for IBM Mainframe GDPS and integrated with VMware SRM to enhance monitoring and management capabilities. The results indicated a significant 60% reduction in RTO, improved visibility on DR processes, and compliance with ISO 22301 standards. The automation of various tasks has minimized dependency on subject matter experts and streamlined the DR operations across the organization.
