Case Studies

Hallite had been using a tape backup strategy to secure their critical systems but a determination had been made that the possible Recovery Time Objective (RTO) presented by tape was too slow to meet the company’s needs. The old tape-based backup process required a minimum of four hours to recover data and return the manufacturing company to operational status, which represented a serious loss of productivity for the 200+ employees and far exceeded Hallite’s maximum tolerable outage (MTO). Also, there was a further significant problem based on the fact that as much as a full day’s work could be lost if a hardware failure took place close to the end of the business day, prior to the start of the nightly tape backup process.
