Introduction:

Modern-day enterprises are moving to a cloud environment for better flexibility and efficiency. Unfortunately, the risk of the cloud disaster is also growing. The Cloud DR Service is a managed solution and strategy to back up the data, records, applications, and other information and resources to a dedicated server provider or cloud. In the time of a disaster, the organizations can utilize the backed-up data to resume normal mode of operation by minimizing downtime. Recently, Team Appzlogic has helped a law firm with Cloud DR Service. 

About the Client:

The law firm has around 300 attorneys across the country who access their case data, client records, and history from anywhere with cloud computing services. The firm is one of the oldest law firms in Chicago. They are providing a wide range of legal services and assistance to individuals and businesses.

What did they want?

In this modern world, where risk has become the norm; it is important to safeguard the digital asset, especially for a law firm that deals with sensitive and confidential data like legal documents, client information, and case files. As a nation-based law firm, they rely heavily on technology in its daily operation. They have recognized the importance of data protection for data centers and reached our team for cloud disaster recovery services.

Challenges:

The law firm was using an on-premise data center to store its confidential data. However, they have realized, there are many challenges when it comes to disaster recovery. The existing recovery plan was not comprehensive enough and lack the ability to quickly recover data and applications in times of disaster. After an extensive analysis, our team has found the following challenges. 

• It has limited data protection as the data was stored in a single location
• It was a time-consuming and resource-intensive process
• Maintaining an on-premise data recovery is a costly affair

Solutions: 

Team Appzlogic has assessed the law firm’s IT infrastructure and data protection requirements. We recommended a comprehensive cloud disaster recovery plan tailored to their specific needs. 

Appzlogic implemented a cloud-based disaster recovery solution leveraging the power of the cloud to protect the law firm’s critical data and applications. Our solutions included the following components:

• Cloud backup: Our team implemented a regular backup schedule to replicate the data of the on-premise centers to the cloud. It ensured that the data was protected offsite and quickly recovered in time of disaster.
• Team Appzlogic set up a real-time replication of the firm’s critical applications to the cloud infrastructure to ensure that those applications are always available even in the event of a regional disaster. 
• We have also configured an automated failover process that would automatically switch over the replicate environment in the event of a disaster ensuring minimum downtime. 
• We have also incorporated regular testing of the disaster recovery plan for better effectiveness. We also provided the law firm’s IT team access to a comprehensive monitoring dashboard that gives real-time visibility into the status of the disaster recovery environment. 

Results: 

With Appzlogic’s cloud disaster recovery solutions, the law firm achieved the following results:

• The law firm’s critical data and applications were replicated securely to the cloud. It ensures offsite data protection and lowers the risk of data loss due to disasters or hardware failures. 
• The automated failover process ensured that the law firm’s operations could continue seamlessly, with minimal downtime, even in the event of a disaster. This helped the law firm maintain its business continuity and serve its clients without interruption.
• By moving to a cloud-based disaster recovery solution, the Law Firm was able to eliminate the costs associated with managing and maintaining an on-premises data center.

Appzlogic’s expertise in cloud security services and cloud penetration testing helped the university achieve a higher level of security for its cloud-based infrastructure and data.
