Solution: i2CDM
Chancay Port, located in the Chancay district of Huaral Province, Peru, is a shipping and logistics hub developed and operated by COSCO Shipping Ports Peru Chancay. The company’s operations span shipping, port management, logistics and supply chain services, and vessel manufacturing and repair.
Port operations depend on continuous access to real-time data, including vessel scheduling and berthing information, cargo tracking records, and financial data. As the port scaled its operations, it needed a disaster recovery framework capable of quickly restoring critical systems and data in the event of a system failure or major disruption.
Customer Challenges
- Port operations generate large volumes of time-sensitive data — vessel arrivals and departures, cargo movements, and financial transactions — that must remain continuously available.
- Any disruption to core systems risks delaying vessel scheduling, cargo handling, and downstream logistics operations.
- Traditional backup approaches required significant dedicated infrastructure, driving up disaster recovery costs.
- The port needed a way to validate its disaster recovery readiness without disrupting live production systems.
- Recovery processes needed to be fast and reliable enough to minimize downtime during an actual failure.
Solution
- Deployed Info2soft’s i2CDM cloud disaster recovery platform to protect core business systems, ensuring data security, reliability, and recoverability.
- Used incremental backup, capturing only data changed since the last backup, to reduce storage consumption and improve backup and recovery efficiency.
- Adopted an on-demand disaster recovery resource model, allowing the port to scale DR capacity as needed and avoid over-provisioning infrastructure.
- Enabled the use of backup copies for system testing, DR drills, and failover, allowing the port to validate recovery readiness without affecting production systems.
Results
- Strengthened business continuity by ensuring critical systems can recover quickly after a disruption.
- Improved data security and reliability across vessel scheduling, cargo tracking, and financial systems.
- Reduced disaster recovery costs through incremental backup and on-demand resource allocation.
- Simplified day-to-day DR operations, reducing administrative overhead for the IT team.
- Lowered operational risk while supporting the port’s ability to scale its infrastructure as the business grows.
