Essar cuts down drill time by 75% using Sanovi DRM

The solution has helped Essar improve disaster recovery readiness for mission-critical corporate applications

With a view to streamline and automate its disaster recovery operations, Essar Group has implemented DRM software from Sanovi Technologies. Covering critical ERP functions, the solution has been implemented across Essars primary and DR locations.

Sanovi DRM suite is the leading management solution for aligning DR infrastructure with Recovery Time and Recovery Point objectives. The implementation of Sanovis DRM solution has had major implications for the groups DR service operations. The function-rich tool has considerably reduced the effort for regular DR setup monitoring, management, report generation and DR drill activity.

Our drill time per-cycle has gone down from 16 hours to four hours, and the team size deployed for managing the drill is reduced from eight to two engineers. For an organization, that spells considerable saving in terms of manpower costs and down-time required for mandatory DR drills. In fact, Essar has streamlined its DR processes and increased its frequency of holding DRM drills to twice a year," said Jayantha Prabhu, Head-IT Infrastructure, Essar.

DRM combines monitoring, reporting, testing and workflow automation capabilities of complex IT infrastructure into a scalable, easy-to-use solution built on industry standards. The DR solution for Essar aimed at overcoming the challenges faced by the group, viz, lack of real-time monitoring of DR readiness, incident management, application level replication of processes as well as database. Sanovi DR solution automated the DR drills reducing dependency on expertise of individuals and significantly cutting down complexity of the processes. Plus, unified DR management delivered real-time DR readiness validation and offered clear business and operational advantages.
