Strengthening Disaster Recovery With Rocket® D3® Hot Backup 

After losing critical data during a system failure, All Electronics needed a disaster recovery solution to avoid future disruptions. Here’s how Rocket  D3 Hot Backup helped.

Challenge

Following a costly recovery process, All Electronics sought a seamless, system-integrated backup solution to protect data and avoid downtime.

Solution

All Electronics partnered with Rocket Software to implement Rocket D3 Hot Backup, a real-time replication solution for critical business processes. 

Results

The company achieved immediate ROI, reduced downtime to near-zero, and safeguarded critical business operations and customer data. 

You know that little crash we had a few years ago? It turns out that the cost of the data recovery alone amounted to 80-90% of the price of the D3 Hot Backup license. Add the cost of the emergency night and weekend consulting, and the D3 Hot Backup system pays for itself."

Industry: Retail

All Electronics Corporation, operating for over 56 years, specializes in surplus electronic and electro-mechanical parts and assemblies. Based in Van Nuys, California, the company serves its customers via phone, mail order, online, and in-store. 

Challenge

All Electronics' outdated recovery approach left them vulnerable to critical data loss. This caused them expensive downtime during unexpected system failures. 

When lightning struck and destroyed All Electronics' D3 server, the company experienced costly and time-consuming data recovery efforts. Despite recovering data successfully, they dealt with significant downtime and operational disruptions. A full business-day gap in their system backup meant recreating credit card transactions and other operational data from scratch. Leadership realized the need for a real-time disaster recovery solution to protect critical data and avoid future disruptions. 

 

Solution

Rocket D3 Hot Backup secured continuity during failures by providing seamless replication of critical files and operations to a secondary server. 

After decades of partnership with Rocket Software, All Electronics beta-tested Rocket D3 Hot Backup, integrated into their D3 Windows system. The solution ensured uninterrupted credit card transactions and business-critical applications, solving the company’s backup challenges. Rocket D3 Hot Backup continuously replicated selected transactions in real-time between primary and secondary servers. This allowed All Electronics to switch servers immediately during a failure. The implementation was flawless, with no disruptions to operations during deployment. 

Results

All Electronics reduced downtime, achieved immediate ROI, and secured critical operations with Rocket D3 Hot Backup.

The transition to Rocket D3 Hot Backup allowed All Electronics to eliminate costly downtime and maintain continuity during unforeseen incidents. The company could now switch seamlessly to a secondary server in case of failure, minimizing disruptions. The solution drove immediate ROI by cutting emergency recovery costs and providing safeguards against future catastrophes. With Rocket Software, All Electronics optimized disaster recovery, improved IT resilience, and ensured robust protection of customer and business data.
