Overview
Shanghai Aerospace Electronics Co., Ltd.
Country: China
Industry: Aerospace / Electronics Manufacturing
Solution: i2Availability High Availability + i2CDP Continuous Data Protection + Classified Data Real-Time Backup
As digitalization accelerated, Shanghai Aerospace Electronics faced increasing pressure to modernize its data protection capabilities. Mission-critical SAP applications and classified information systems required real-time, reliable protection to avoid downtime and ensure data integrity. Traditional backup tools lacked flexibility, failed to meet high availability requirements, and struggled to provide rapid recovery during unexpected outages or ransomware attacks.
Customer Challenge
- Outdated protection methods — Traditional backups were rigid and insufficient for modern operational needs.
- High risk for critical workloads — SAP applications and databases lacked real-time protection, exposing the business to downtime and data loss.
- Integrity and reliability concerns — Backup completeness could not be guaranteed, and recovery procedures were slow and unreliable.
- Disaster response limitations — Existing mechanisms could not ensure rapid recovery during hardware failures, misoperations, or ransomware incidents.
- Classified data protection — Sensitive and classified servers required secure, independent real-time backup to prevent loss and leakage.
