Scope
Upgrade virtualization from Hyper-V to a Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) and implement Disaster Recovery (DR).
Duration
2 Months
Year

The challenge
Frequent power outages caused server unavailability, which prevented users from accessing the system and disrupted operations. As a result, production was impacted due to the lack of server access.
Our solution
The system was converted to HCI to enhance IT infrastructure, and ADR replication was deployed to an offsite location at Missan Data Centre. In the event of a power issue, DR machines were activated, and users were provided access via a public link.
What we delivered
HCI Infrastructure
Sangfor HCI licenses implemented to enhance overall IT infrastructure performance, scalability, and reliability
Secure VPN Connectivity
Established a secure VPN connection between Missan Data Centre and Star Paper Mill office for safe and seamless communication
ADR Implementation
Configured Advanced Disaster Recovery (ADR) to ensure business continuity and data protection during outages
Virtual Firewall
Deployed virtual firewall licenses to strengthen network security and protect against external threats
Results & Outcomes
- High uptime achieved with reliable infrastructure and minimal service disruption
- Disaster Recovery (DR) activation time reduced to just 15 minutes from the office location
- Improved business continuity with seamless failover to backup systems
- Enhanced system availability ensuring uninterrupted user access during outages
