Customer Profile:

A long-established non-profit organization within the APAC region providing horse racing, sporting, and betting entertainment. The charity provides dining, social, sport and recreation facilities to over 23,000 members. With multiple racing venues, over 100 regional outlets, and upwards of 24,000 staff, the charity IT infrastructure supports many functions and customer touchpoints.

Challenge

IT systems are invariably complex, typically consisting of multiple operating systems (OS), varied operating platforms including physical, virtual and cloud, plus a wide array of interdependent applications. IT system recovery is none the less complex with multiple system images needing to be restored in the correct sequence to their corresponding platforms to ensure system dependencies are catered for. Having multiple recovery tools for different OS and platform types adds complexity and time-consuming overhead to any disaster recovery process. The organization determined that a system recovery solution providing automation and orchestration to facilitate the recovery of multiple OS and platform types within a tiered application architecture would offer the only way to perform disaster recovery and meet internal and external RTO/RPO targets.

Solution

Cristie software provided a single solution with automation and recovery orchestration for both Windows and Linux based platforms with seamless integration into the existing Dell Networker backup environment; eliminating 100s of hours in system recovery administration overhead. Cristie Software provides many orchestration capabilities that are lacking for physical systems but are commonplace within virtual and cloud environments. 

Result

In the event of a disaster recovery scenario, the automatic recovery of core infrastructure services such as active directory, domain controllers, web servers and network configuration can be achieved in sequence through the flexible recovery orchestration features of the Cristie Virtual Appliance (VA). Critical customer-facing services with specific application dependencies can then be orchestrated for recovery with pre- and post- boot operations automated through staged ‘orchestration jobs’ within the VA. Cristie recovery orchestration features also allow customization for the requirements of multiple operating systems and network configurations to accommodate isolated air-gapped internal networks.
