“To give you an understanding of our requirements, let’s just take a look at our check production business. We produce over 350,000 check pages each month for our clients. That’s a huge volume of work in terms of preparation and administration and requires an incredible amount of supporting systems and data. So it’s critical that our IT infrastructure is accessible at all times and that we can ensure checks are issued on time and to client specifications,” said STES Chief Information Officer Christophe Courcaud. “Scale Computing delivers on the necessary data protection because of the built-in backup and remote replication functionality in its HC3 platform. Scale Computing also provides the necessary scalability to grow and develop our business further without the worry of unexpected overheads that come with more traditional IT deployments.”
In order to protect critical data and maintain an effective DR strategy, STES replicates data
between two sites on the island. The sites are 7.5 miles apart to allow local protection in case of natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes. Snapshots are taken on an hourly or daily basis depending on client requirements and, in the event of a disaster, data can be recovered within 15 minutes to an hour.
“By deploying Scale Computing, STES has removed the need for a complicated and potentially expensive IT infrastructure. This is because our HC3 platform eliminates the requirement for VMware, separate backup software and DR software. I’d estimate that it has also significantly cut the time that the company’s IT team spends managing their infrastructure,” said Dan Pierce, vice president of strategic sales at Scale Computing. “This deployment demonstrates the truly global need for intelligent edge computing and the desire across all businesses and all sectors to bring automation to their IT systems.”
