Soft Solutions Selects CA Recovery Software to Ensure Better Business Continuity
Company Selects the XOsoft WANSync Solution from CA to Improve Its Disaster Recovery Capabilities
Soft Solutions announces the selection and deployment of CA´s
XOsoft WANSync recovery management solution to replicate its
business-critical data in multiple locations and hot sites.
With global headquarters in France, clients in Europe and North
America and development work being done in Beirut, Lebanon, Soft
Solutions must provide uninterrupted service to over 100,000 users at
multi-regional retailers regardless of time zones. And, since each
client´s application is adapted from the standard to fit its business
context, Soft Solutions engineers must keep over 20 terabytes of
critical client documentation.
Using CA XOsoft WANSync, Soft Solutions is able to replicate all
its critical data - including application source code - to a secure
subsidiary office in the local area as well as a hot site in Lille,
France and another replica laboratory in Cyprus.
"Our merchandising solutions are critical to our clients´
day-to-day operations and profitability," stated Mounir Rahmeh,
Managing Director of Soft Solutions. "To minimize disruption, we need
to ensure that any issues are dealt with quickly and that our support
services are continuously available. CA´s Recovery Management solution
has provided us with the peace of mind that our applications can be
recovered quickly and comprehensively, enabling our clients to keep
pace with the dynamic regional and global retail sectors," he added.
Now in the case of a major disaster, Soft Solutions IT teams can
be up and running within half a day using XOsoft WANSync. With ensured
integrity of the replicated data and reduced business risk from
minimizing outages, Soft Solutions can provide better global customer
support and increased business productivity both at its IT locations
and at customer sites.
