Customer Background and Challenges

The client is a well-known Brazilian bank regulated by industry mandates, operating across various regions. Their business systems, critical to their daily operations, were initially running on a local VMware environment. However, they lacked an effective disaster recovery (DR) solution that could ensure business continuity in the event of an outage or disaster.
The client faced several significant challenges in their quest for a robust DR solution:

Lack of Cloud DR Capabilities: The existing on-premises backup solution was unable to provide remote disaster recovery, making it difficult to ensure operational continuity in case of failure.

Flexibility in Resource Allocation: The customer needed a cloud-based DR solution that would allow for greater flexibility in resource allocation and scaling.

Require RTO to be within 30 Minutes: As a financial institution, the client is required to meet strict regulatory mandates, including a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of under 30 minutes. The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) ranges between 4 to 24 hours, depending on the tier of the business system.

Solution

HyperBDR delivered a comprehensive and efficient cloud disaster recovery solution, addressing the customer's unique challenges:

Boot in Cloud Technology: HyperBDR’s innovative Boot in Cloud technology automatically calls cloud APIs to create and orchestrate resources, enabling the customer to achieve one-click business system recovery to a usable state. This eliminates the need for pre-launched, one-to-one cloud hosts.

Minute-Level Hybrid DR Protection: HyperBDR utilizes both Block Storage and Object Storage to meet varying RTO requirements of 10 minutes and 30 minutes, effectively balancing performance and cost.

Agentless Operation: By eliminating the need for agent installation, HyperBDR automatically retrieves VM information by calling the VMware interface, minimizing disruption to the production system.

Three-Step Wizard Deployment: HyperBDR’s easy-to-use, three-step wizard design streamlines the DR setup, greatly reducing complexity and risk of human error, while significantly improving deployment efficiency.
