The Challenge
Client relied on manual backup processes
Client relied on manual backup processes, which exposed the organization to risks of data loss and extended downtime. Without an automated disaster recovery strategy, ensuring consistent and timely recovery during unexpected failures was a significant challenge.
Manual Backup Reliance
Customer faced significant risks due to their sole reliance on manual backups, lacking a formalized and automated disaster recovery strategy.
Vulnerability to Data Loss
The absence of automation exposed the organization to substantial data loss and extended downtime in the event of system failures or disasters.
Inefficiency & Human Error
Manual processes led to operational inefficiencies, increased the potential for human error, and hindered the ability to achieve rapid and reliable data recovery.
