Overview

China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC)

Country: China

Industry: Construction / Engineering / Infrastructure

Solution: i2Backup & i2CDP Disaster Recovery Platform

CSCEC operates dozens of business systems with diverse protection requirements, including a three-node SAP HANA cluster, more than ten Oracle database servers, MySQL databases, FastDFS file systems, and over 100 financial automation servers. To safeguard these environments, CSCEC needed to implement a hybrid scheduled and real-time backup strategy, conduct regular recovery drills, and design a scalable intra-city disaster recovery (DR) plan for dozens of systems, with a roadmap toward remote DR expansion.

Customer Challenge

• Large-scale environment — Dozens of business systems and more than 100 financial servers.
• Heterogeneous workloads — SAP HANA, Oracle, MySQL, and file systems requiring tailored protection.
• Future-proofing — Needed an architecture supporting intra-city DR and scalable for cross-region DR.
• Business continuity — Ensure rapid recovery for critical financial and business systems in case of failures or security incidents.

I2 Solution

• Implemented scheduled backups for general business systems and real-time CDP for SAP HANA.
• Enabled recovery to the latest backup point or to any point in time via CDP.
• Deployed two bare-metal servers in the financial resource zone, serving as backup control and DR servers.
• Integrated DR servers with cloud NAS storage, mapping capacity directly for backup use.
• Centralized control machine issued backup commands to financial clusters, transferring data to the DR server.
• Replicated backup data 1:1 to the intra-city DR center, then synchronized 1:1 to the remote DR center for layered protection.

Solution Effects

• Established a comprehensive backup and recovery mechanism for the financial integration system.
• Improved recovery capabilities across scenarios such as equipment failure and security incidents.
• Achieved continuous protection for SAP HANA and other critical systems, ensuring security and availability.
• Delivered secure, visualized, and easy-to-manage operations, reducing maintenance costs.
• Enhanced overall disaster recovery resilience, strengthening the protection of CSCEC’s critical business data.
