The Challenge
To ensure resilience across a number of production based PC based control systems which provide round the clock process monitoring, control and reporting to critical processes across the site. The solution had to have the ability to provide quick recovery of the application in the event of hardware loss.
The Solution
The site looked to Opensoft Systems to provide a solid solution to enable the migration to newer hardware of older systems on site. Opensoft Systems ensured all applications and data are securely backed up on a sequential basis. Opensoft deployed virtualisation technology with Scapa Healthcare offsite data centre hosting ESXi server to provide a further secure environment for the company’s production assets.
This enabled the site to secure important data and plant critical applications. The solution ensured they were able to be recovered instantly in the event they were required in a disaster recovery situation.
Technology Used
