HyperBDR

A new scenario for cloud disaster recovery

Best Practice

HyperBDR supported a global top 500 manufacturing company achieving large scale cross-regional disaster recovery, effectively reducing disaster recovery costs.

Project Overview

A high-tech enterprise specializing in R&D and manufacturing of computer, communication and consumer electronics products, widely involved in digital, auto parts, cloud computing services and the development and application of new energy and materials. It currently ranks among the Fortune Global 500.

Considering cross-regional and multi-system production environments of the group, in order to ensure data security and achieve unified management goal, customer planned to unify multiple data centers to the headquarter of the group through disaster recovery solution.

The centralized and automated data management system integrates all important data and resources of the group, to achieve data backup, off-site data protection, data archiving and data recovery drills in order to avoid human errors, virus and network attacks, software and hardware failures, natural disasters…, etc.

Both the headquarter and its branches adopted OpenStack architecture solution.

Customer Pain Points

The original disaster recovery solution has low automation capability, the implementation process is cumbersome

The original disaster recovery solution has low degree of automation and does not compile with the automated orchestration capability of OpenStack. Large number of agents need to be installed for data synchronization and the DR implementation process is cumbersome.

Multi-location cross-cloud disaster recovery increases difficulty

The group planned to centralize all business systems distributed around the world and implement disaster recovery solution in the OpenStack private cloud resource pool of the headquarter. In such a production environment, the implementation of disaster recovery solution is more challenging than ever. Apart from increasing difficulty in operation and maintenance, higher requirements are placed on the reliability and stability of the disaster recovery solution.

To maintain minute-level protection and recovery

With large volume of business, and the data centers spread in different locations around the world, the group has high requirements on disaster recovery. It is expected that the systems are recovering in a short when disaster occurs, that is RTO and RPO within 10 minutes.

Solution

Fully automated cloud disaster recovery solution, get rid of cumbersome configuration

Auto adaptation design enables remote connection with cross-cloud platforms, achieving data mobility; "System + Application + Data" full backup without reinstalling the operating system, reconstructing data nor worrying about architecture compatibility.

One-click resource group orchestration, improving recovery efficiency

Cloud-native orchestration enables resource group recovery, one-click cloud and business resources orchestration, improving the availability of the business systems after disaster recovery cutover.

Minute-level protection and recovery, enable business continuity and high availability

Block-level CDP disaster recovery protection, not limited by operating system nor file systems, one-click fast recovery ensures business continuity and high availability.

Point-in-time recovery, unlimited snapshots

The system can automatically generate snapshot at specific time intervals according to the settings, and the number of snapshots can be set according to needs; point-in-time recovery, fast data and business status restore at particular time.

Customer Outcomes

HyperBDR introduces a highly automated off-site cloud disaster recovery concept, innovatively solved the cross-regional challenges of the group such as cloud migration, real-time backup, continuous protection, post-disaster recovery and business cutover; reducing data and economic losses due to business interruption.

The DR solution enables the group to achieve cross-cloud disaster recovery of the core systems such as project management, production scheduling, financial management and data standardization, guarantees the group with high reliability and RPO of just 5 minutes, greatly reduces the loss of data caused by disaster; with unlimited snapshots and point-in-time recovery, business data can be restored quickly, RTO only counted for 5 minutes.

1. Innovative scenario, achieving cross-regional data mobility

Innovatively helps customer to achieve cross-regional disaster recovery with OpenStack. Enables customer to perform data and business validations, achieving cross-regional data mobility.

2. Achieving disaster recovery of large data volume, reducing investment effectively

Completed disaster recovery protection of more than 200 hosts, effectively helps customer to reduce investment in infrastructure deployment and management, and also the disaster recovery operating costs.
