Country: China

Industry: Mining / Metals / Manufacturing

Solution: i2Active High Availability, i2FFO Full Server Backup, i2Box DR Appliance

China National Gold Group needed to protect its core financial and business systems against risks such as human error, viruses, cyberattacks, hardware/software failures, and natural disasters including floods, fires, and earthquakes. The group required an intra-city + remote DR strategy that ensured uninterrupted system operation during migration, supported periodic DR drills, and enabled rapid failover with seamless user access.

Customer Challenge

• Diverse risks — Human error, cyberattacks, and natural disasters threaten IT stability.
• Seamless operation — DR construction needed to avoid disruptions to production systems.
• Cross-platform replication — Required second-level database replication across different OS and platforms.
• Business continuity — Ensure user access remains consistent with an identical IP architecture between primary and DR centers.
• DR drills — Ability to periodically switch operations to the DR center and roll back smoothly.

I2 Solution

• Designed a unified local + remote DR platform building on existing protection.
• Deployed i2Active high availability & real-time data integration to safeguard the Oracle financial system, ensuring 24/7 uptime and continuous availability.
• Implemented i2FFO full-server backup to periodically back up other key business systems to the i2Box DR appliance.
• Enabled system-level backup and migration by packaging Linux/Windows servers as virtual machine files, supporting scheduled backups, pre-upgrade protection, and non-disruptive system migrations.

Solution Effects

• Achieved multi-layer protection for core data and applications with both local and remote safeguards.
• Enabled fast local recovery during routine failures, while ensuring DR center takeover during major incidents.
• Reduced construction and operation costs compared with traditional DR centers, leveraging Info2soft’s byte-level replication for cross-platform high availability.
• Strengthened business continuity and disaster resilience, securing critical financial and operational data.
