Eastridge Workforce Solutions delivers workforce management services and technologies to more than 1,300 clients across North America. Its time and attendance system alone processes transactions from thousands of people 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As clients’ employees check in and out through the system, it verifies who is allowed to be there and who should be there. It also records employees’ time to generate accurate payrolls.
In the words of Brad Taylor, CIO of Eastridge, “It would be catastrophic if the system were unavailable for even just a few minutes.”
Clearly, Eastridge needs a high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) solution that guarantees that its time and attendance system—and the data associated with it—will always be available, no matter what may occur. The company cannot afford to pause for disasters or for the normal scheduled maintenance that all systems must undergo from time to time.
Yet HA/DR is not a core competency or competitive differentiator for Eastridge. Powerful, innovative workforce solutions are. Thus, the company needs a way to utilize the foremost HA/DR skills and experience, without distracting its IT group from its work in advancing the company’s business objectives.
Eastridge Workforce Solutions relies on Assure MIMIX HA to ensure that its IBM i-based time and attendance system is never unavailable and never loses any data. To this end, Assure MIMIX HA replicates all production data, system data and applications from the production server to a recovery server.
