HP Business Continuity and Availability Produces an Elegant Disaster Recovery Solution

Overview No corporation nowadays can afford to ignore Disaster Recovery (DR). But like all IT programs, DR can be implemented in a variety of ways. For Agricore United, Canada's largest grain handler and supplier of seed, crop nutrition, and crop protection products, a new HP DR infrastructure not only supports state-of-the-art business continuity, but does it cost-effectively. HP designed and implemented a "Hot" DR environment that leverages Agricore United's development systems as back-up production systems. Production data and system snapshots are replicated continually to minimize potential data loss; failover takes place within seconds and is transparent to users.
