WAFS Helps Company Avert Disaster | 2006-08-23 01:00:12 | Jupitermedia |
| Barely a week after going into production at UK-based drug developer Fulcrum Pharma in December 2005, Availl's Wide Area File Services (WAFS) system underwent trial by fire, literally, when a nearby refinery caught fire, damaging Fulcrum's new headquarters and closing down major roads and businesses. Yet aside from staffers having to work from home or at alternate sites for a few weeks, it was business as usual at Fulcrum. No data was lost. No deadlines were missed. A former wholly owned subsidiary of Hoffman La Roche until it was spun off in 1999, Fulcrum Pharma LLC pioneered the virtual development approach to delivering global drug development services for pharmaceutical clients. | |||

Hospital Tackles Data Growth | 2006-08-23 01:00:12 | Jupitermedia |
| With its data storage needs soaring nearly 10-fold in less than five years, Baptist Memorial Health Care (BMHC) knew the time had come to address storage challenges such as backup, disaster recovery and archiving applications. Trying to protect the data was the real challenge. The assistant engineer in the server management group at BMHC set his sights set on Virtual Tape Library (VTL) technology and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) methodology. While more than two dozen vendors provide VTL, all using different media for disks and different sizing, only one vendor enabled the maximum amount of data storage in the smallest footprint. That vendor was Copan Systems. | |||

Forsythe Technology Case Study: A Small Home Equity/Mortgage Lender | 2006-08-18 01:00:11 | Forsythe Technology |
| A recent audit had revealed that a small home equity/mortgage lender was at risk of incurring penalties for violating state and federal regulations regarding business continuity planning. Not only could a crisis potentially put them out of business, but it could also subject the company's corporate officers to civil liability litigation stemming from their fiduciary responsibility to diligently protect shareholder interests. The company was serious about developing business continuity and disaster recovery plans, but it didn't know where to begin. Forsythe started by proposing a model framework for thinking about business continuity planning, in order to identify what the company's business continuity recovery objectives should be, and how it might prioritize them. |
