Infinidat and Red Hat create real-world resilience

​

​Business continuity is no longer a nice-to-have capability for enterprise organizations – it is a strategic requirement. As companies continue to modernize their IT environments and move mission-critical applications to containerized and virtualized platforms, the ability to maintain uninterrupted operations during unexpected events has become increasingly important.

​

Episode 3 of the Infinidat Red Hat TechCast, sees Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer, and Mike Jochimsen, Director of Alliances, Infinidat, a Lenovo company, discuss a recent experience involving one of Red Hat and Infinidat’s joint customers.  

​

The customer, a multi-billion-dollar insurance company based in the EMEA region, faced a significant challenge when an explosion near its primary data centre caused the facility to go offline.  

 

For many businesses, such an event could have triggered a lengthy recovery process and potentially affected customer-facing services.  Instead, the company’s infrastructure continued to operate seamlessly owing to Infinidat’s active-active replication technology, which ensured workloads remained available and business operations proceeded normally.  

 

The failover process was effectively transparent to users, allowing the company to maintain service continuity during a potentially disruptive event.

​

This real-world example highlights the growing importance of architectures designed for high availability and disaster recovery.  Rather than relying solely on traditional backup and recovery methods, organizations are increasingly investing in solutions that enable continuous operations even when an entire site becomes unavailable.​
