CASE STUDY infrastructure that fuelled backup and recovery performance through heightened automation, improving storage utilisation and performance resulting in significant cost savings. EMC Data Domain Boost allows CSC to avail of transparent load balancing and new de-duplication capabilities to increase performance of critical applications. CSC came full circle with the project with the deployment of EMC RecoverPoint to enable continuous data protection and to enable application recovery at any point in time.
The solution allows CSC to improve critical data retention policies, designed to meet compliance regulations and to expedite recovery speeds for many applications and files – reducing the recovery times from months to days, from days to hours and from hours to minutes. Together with EMC, CSC has powered a performance backed infrastructure to support the entity’ s critical role in the overall government agenda. The deployment provisions the scale, management simplicity and efficiency that CSC needs to successfully cope with surging amounts of data and take a step forward in its journey to extend new Back-Up-As-A-Service capabilities, to internal and external stakeholders across numerous public entities in the State of Kuwait.
“ The Civil Services Commission is a critical brick in the foundation of the government’ s agenda to transform the performance and provision of government services across the nation. Together with EMC, we have created the next generation backup and recovery infrastructure that is suited to our role and responsibilities, the deployment saves us precious operational time and helps in improving the performance of critical applications across remote locations and users.
“ The deployment allows our teams to focus on innovation. We truly believe that we have made the right decision by choosing the EMC backup and recovery platform,” said Ahmed Al Abd AlJalil, Undersecretary for IT at Civil Services Commission, Kuwait. www. intelligentcio. com INTELLIGENTCIO
