Solution: i2VP (Agentless Virtualization Backup) + i2Backup (Scheduled Backup & Recovery)

Shanghai Waigaoqiao Group Finance operates a mission-critical financial IT environment that has grown increasingly complex. Its production systems not only include heterogeneous databases such as SQL Server and Oracle, but also a large number of business workloads running on VMware virtualization platforms. To ensure business continuity and regulatory compliance, the company sought to establish a unified disaster recovery platform that delivers comprehensive, multi-layered data protection.

Customer Challenge

• Complex environment combining SQL Server, Oracle, and VMware-based workloads.
• Needed to eliminate single points of failure and ensure system-wide recovery capability.
• Regulatory requirements demanded strong disaster recovery and backup compliance.
• Minimize impact on production systems while ensuring consistent, reliable protection.

I2 Solution

• Agentless VM Backup with i2VP: Leveraged agentless backup technology to protect VMware virtual machines at the ESXi host layer, without installing agents inside production systems.
• Appliance-Based Protection with i2Box: Backups were stored directly on Info2soft’s appliance, ensuring secure and centralized data protection.
• Scheduled Backup with i2Backup: Regular backup of both virtual and physical machine applications and data, providing an additional layer of resilience.
• Unified Management: Centralized monitoring and orchestration of heterogeneous databases and virtual environments.

Solution Effects

• Achieved dual protection: OS-level data replication and virtualization-layer VM backup.
• Simplified disaster recovery operations across heterogeneous systems.
• Ensured regulatory compliance and improved overall IT resilience.
• Provided a scalable DR framework that can evolve with future business and IT demands.
