The company always aims to provide value to its stakeholders and attempt to boost the bar of “Excellence”. . They handle multi-million portfolios, hundreds of trading transactions and generally creating wealth for each one of their clients every day. Doing this activity required a lot of data in the backend to build a smoother operation for their employees and customers. The company was already using primary data storage solution which needs to be backup for data protection purposes.

Challenge:

The organization was not having a backup solution for their increased data load, the company was using a standard backup solution which was used to back up the data locally. This has been done with the traditional way with no guarantee to restore the database. Also, there was no encryption happening on the database which was unsafe data backup practice. In order to achieve absolute data protection, the company was needed a robust backup solution. In order to achieve a secure and reliable user experience company needs to be using data protection solutions in business infrastructure and securing and safeguarding personal data.

The Company was using Nutanix as primary Data Backup Software and that was in isolation. Nutanix was only a single point data source, in case of failure company operations might be at risk. Also, there was no point in a data source in case of downtime on the primary data backup server. In order to enable smooth operations with the highest availability data backup options were needed. This would also help their customers in accessing digital services faster.

The company was facing issues with Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). These are the two most critical parameters of any data protection solution and disaster recovery strategy. Also, application-aware backup was not part of the primary backup which might cause the downtime of the application.
