Below, we present two case studies from Royal Exchange, a leading Nigerian insurance group, and PAMA, a prominent Indonesian mining company, highlighting how our solutions drive cost-effective resilience and business continuity in diverse global markets.
Royal Exchange Partners with Info2Soft for Hybrid IT Cloud Disaster Recovery Solution
User Needs and Challenges: Royal Exchange, Nigeria’s leading integrated insurance group, has been listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange since the 1990s. They has evolved into a comprehensive enterprise encompassing general insurance, life insurance, foreign exchange finance, healthcare, and banking loans. As its business expands and digital transformation deepens, Royal Exchange faces significant challenges in data security and business continuity.
- Data Security and Business Continuity Requirements: With the ongoing expansion of business systems, Royal Exchange demands increasingly high levels of data security and operational continuity. Any unplanned downtime or data corruption could result in severe financial losses and reputational damage.
- Complexity of Hybrid IT Architecture: The company’s IT infrastructure is growing more intricate, incorporating on-premises data centers and cloud environments. This hybrid setup complicates data storage, backup, and recovery management, making unified oversight and monitoring difficult.
- High Costs of Disaster Recovery Center Construction and Maintenance: Traditional same-city or remote disaster recovery models would require long-cycle processes for site selection, planning, construction, and link design, along with substantial upfront and ongoing operational expenses.
- Data Security Transmission and Encryption Needs: During data transmission, Royal Exchange must ensure data integrity and confidentiality to prevent leaks or tampering.
Implementation Solution: To address Royal Exchange’s needs and challenges, Info2Soft partnered with Huawei Cloud to deliver a cloud disaster recovery solution based on a hybrid IT architecture.
- Hybrid IT Cloud Disaster Recovery Scheme: Leveraging Info2Soft’s CloudCDM software, we enable rapid backups and recoveries from on-premises data to the Huawei Cloud. Using an initial full backup followed by perpetual incremental updates, the solution provides snapshot strategies at 1-minute intervals, ensuring hot backups for data.
- Secure Operational Environment: Huawei Cloud’s local security group policies safeguard the entire disaster recovery environment. Additionally, Info2Soft employs real-time byte-level encryption replication technology to secure data during transmission.
- Rapid Business Failover and Recovery: In the event of a failure in the local production environment, Royal Exchange can swiftly switch operations to Huawei Cloud via the CloudCDM platform, achieving quick business takeover. The cloud-based disaster recovery model, combined with elastic and agile cloud resources, allows easy execution of disaster recovery drills and testing on Huawei Cloud.
- Unified Maintenance and Management: Administrators can access the CloudCDM platform via encrypted HTTPS for simple operations through its graphical management interface, enabling centralized platform maintenance and oversight.
User Benefits: Royal Exchange has highly praised the hybrid IT cloud disaster recovery solution implemented by Info2Soft in partnership with Huawei Cloud. It not only resolves the challenges of on-premises to cloud data backups and disaster recovery but also significantly enhances data security and business continuity. Through CloudCDM’s advantages, it reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and establishes a more agile cloud-based recovery mechanism.
Furthermore, by utilizing Huawei Cloud’s elastic infrastructure and CloudCDM’s massive data replica management capabilities, Royal Exchange can easily scale disaster recovery resources elastically, providing a solid foundation for future business growth. This efficient and flexible cloud disaster recovery framework injects powerful momentum into the company’s sustained development.
PAMA Partners with Info2Soft for CloudCDM Cloud Disaster Recovery Solution
User Needs and Challenges: PAMA, a leading enterprise in Indonesia’s mining sector, boasts abundant mineral resources and extensive business operations. However, as its business expands and data volumes surge, PAMA confronts severe challenges in data management and disaster recovery capabilities. Traditional on-premises disaster recovery solutions are costly and struggle to ensure timely data restoration and business continuity in the face of natural disasters, human errors, and other risks. Thus, PAMA urgently requires a new disaster recovery approach that guarantees data security while reducing costs and boosting efficiency.
Specifically, PAMA’s needs and challenges include:
- Data Security and Business Continuity: Ensuring secure storage and rapid recovery of critical business data to mitigate various potential risks.
- Cost Reduction: Traditional on-premises disaster recovery is expensive; a more cost-effective alternative is needed.
- Efficiency Improvement: Simplifying IT operations and management to allow greater focus on core business development.
Implementation Solution: Tailored to PAMA’s specific needs and challenges, Info2Soft designed a CloudCDM cloud disaster recovery solution. This approach employs a hybrid IT architecture, seamlessly integrating on-premises and cloud resources for efficient data migration and management.
The CloudCDM cloud disaster recovery solution’s implementation steps are as follows:
- Cloud Data Backup: Using advanced cloud technology, PAMA’s critical business data is replicated in real-time to cloud-based EVS disks. These EVS disks offer high performance, reliability, and scalability, ensuring secure storage and fast access.
- Hybrid IT Architecture Integration: Effectively combining PAMA’s on-premises IT infrastructure with resources from cloud providers like Huawei Cloud, preserving the flexibility and control of local environments while leveraging the cloud’s elastic scalability and cost benefits.
- Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: The cloud-based disaster recovery center provides PAMA with strong recovery capabilities. In cases of data loss or system failures, data can be quickly restored from the cloud center, ensuring uninterrupted business operations.
- Simplified Management and Operations: A unified cloud management platform enables centralized monitoring and management of the disaster recovery system, reducing maintenance costs and improving efficiency.
User Benefits: By implementing the CloudCDM cloud disaster recovery solution, PAMA not only secures business continuity and data integrity—enabling rapid data recovery in extreme scenarios to maintain normal operations—but also significantly enhances the overall security of its digital systems through cloud EVS disk storage backups and encrypted data transmission and storage, effectively preventing risks of data breaches and tampering.
Moreover, the solution simplifies IT operations via a unified cloud management platform, lowers management and maintenance costs, and improves resource utilization through the flexibility of hybrid IT architecture. It successfully addresses PAMA’s challenges in data backups and disaster recovery, offering a robust data security foundation for its digital transformation journey and empowering the company to continue leading in the mining industry.
