| The client is a California-based company, and is one of the world's largest retailers with many widely respected brands. The company's IT admins were frustrated by their existing tape solution that they found both labor intensive and unreliable and ultimately found their problems with tape were two-fold: media corruption often prevented accurate restores and the time-to-retrieve tapes from offsite locations took many days, which was not acceptable for operational requirements. In late 2004, the team began searching for faster, more reliable alternatives to get more accurate restores of their data.

Computacenter Case Study: First National | 2006-08-18 01:00:11 | Computacenter |
| The need to validate backup and restore processes is essential for successful disaster recovery, however, companies are hampered by their in-house testing capabilities. The technologies used for backup and restore have to be in constant use for them to be effective, so unless a company is prepared to invest in a test system, carrying out an end-to-end disaster recovery simulation is not possible in a production environment. Business-to-business finance house First National faced just such a problem with its core ecommerce infrastructure. Computacenter's testing facility, the Solutions Centre, provided the risk-free, independent environment that First National needed to replicate its ecommerce systems - and the disaster recovery process. |
