The Challenge
Rufus Leonard, a leading UK independent agency with 29 years’ experience in brand and digital, was facing challenges with their existing disaster recovery (DR) solution. The solution, which had grown into a fully managed DR solution, was proving to be unreliable and complex. The variables for DR testing were changing every time, leading to a lack of confidence in its effectiveness in a real-life DR situation. Additionally, the costs of the fully managed solution were continually growing, diminishing the return on investment. These increasing costs, combined with decreasing confidence, prompted the search for a new DR solution to protect the 27 virtual machines in their on-premises London environment.
About The Customer
Rufus Leonard is a leading UK independent agency with 29 years’ experience in brand and digital. The company is committed to meeting the creative needs of its clients in a dynamic environment. Rufus Leonard understands that what takes years to build can be destroyed in a minute, hence the importance of having the right disaster recovery (DR) provider to protect their business. The company was using an array/storage-based replication from another provider that had grown into a fully managed DR solution. However, this solution presented reliability and complexity challenges, prompting the company to search for a new DR solution.
The Solution
After a detailed proof of concept and due diligence process, Rufus Leonard chose [11:11] DRaaS for Zerto. The proven implementation, testing and support model combined with the visibility and simplicity provided via the [11:11] Cloud Console gave them the confidence they needed to move forward. The setup was simple and the transition from the previous solution was very smooth. The [11:11] DRaaS solution for Zerto not only provided cost savings but also enabled additional DR use cases for upgrade testing. Rufus Leonard can now failover to the [11:11] Cloud to perform and test all of their upgrades, saving not only infrastructure costs but valuable IT time as well.
Operational Impact
  • The [11:11] DRaaS solution for Zerto provided a straightforward monthly cost covering VM license fees and storage with consumption-based compute.
  • The solution enabled additional DR use cases for upgrade testing. Rufus Leonard can now failover to the [11:11] Cloud to perform and test all of their upgrades, saving not only infrastructure costs but valuable IT time as well.
  • The solution removed the DR complexity that caused many challenges for Rufus Leonard. Any member of their Business Continuity team can now log on to the [11:11] console, press a button, and invoke a DR test.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced RPO from 24 hours to 15 seconds
  • 40 percent cost savings over previous DR solution
