Backup & Recovery Modernization for a Leading Indian Port

Ports

Problem / Solution Overview

One of the largest container-handling ports in India was struggling with limitations in its existing backup infrastructure. Slower tape drives created extended backup windows, leading to delays and inefficiencies. The lack of integration across applications and varied data types further complicated backup management. To add to the challenge, the client faced uncertainty around backup restoration, which raised concerns about data reliability and business continuity.

SM Networks was entrusted with modernizing the backup and recovery environment. The solution involved deploying high-performance NAS storage with seamless application integration, while ensuring faster backup cycles and disaster recovery readiness.

Key Deliverables

  • Micro Focus Data Protector with capacity-based licensing.
  • HPE StoreEasy NAS for high-speed storage and backup.
  • Integration across multiple data sources, including SQL, Oracle, Exchange, and VMware.

Client Impact

  • Faster Backups: Reduced backup windows with high-performance NAS, eliminating delays caused by tape systems.
  • Seamless Integrations: Alacarte support for varied applications and data types, enabling a unified backup strategy.
  • Disaster Recovery Ready: Native replication of NAS strengthened resilience and ensured business continuity in case of failures.

Technologies Used

  • Micro Focus Data Protector (capacity-based license).
  • HPE StoreEasy NAS for performance-driven storage.
  • Application Integrations with SQL, Oracle, Exchange, and VMware.
