A press release from XOsoft:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Max Re Ltd. Chooses XOsoft's WANSync
for
Replication of Business-Critical Applications WANSync to Replicate Master File, Insurance Database and E-mail Servers from Max Re Headquarters in Bermuda To Hosting Center in Dublin
Burlington, MA, May 3, 2004 – XOsoft, a leading provider of continuous application availability software solutions, today announced that Max Re Ltd., a provider of risk-controlled products for the global property and casualty, and life and annuity reinsurance and insurance markets, has successfully implemented XOsoft’s state-of-the-art WANSync solutions. WANSync has been deployed to securely replicate file, insurance database and e-mail servers at Max Re’s Bermuda headquarters to high availability replicas in Dublin, Ireland.
With its main offices situated in Bermuda, a home to frequent hurricanes, Max Re is well aware of the risks natural disasters pose to its information and communications infrastructure and, consequently, to the company’s own viability. It has therefore made it a priority to secure its file, database and e-mail servers against unexpected disasters.
Max Re installed WANSync on its master file, database and e-mail servers at its Bermuda headquarters. WANSync now continuously replicates multi-gigabyte spool files between the company’s main offices and high availability WANSync replicas located at its secure hosting center in Dublin, in real time. WANSync may also be used to allocate bandwidth according to specific scenarios assigned to Max Re’s file access, database and e-mail applications. Different bandwidth may also be assigned during business hours, evenings and nights.
After testing a few solutions under bandwidth-limited laboratory conditions, Mr. Lohan singled out XOsoft’s WANSync product line as the clear winner. “WANSync’s application specific support for Exchange and SQL and its ability to rewind data to its latest consistent state in the event of data corruption provided unique value over other solutions. Additional advantages include WANSync’s ability to replicate our servers over the limited bandwidth available to us, and the speed and ease with which it can be installed. We didn’t even have to reboot servers -- downtime for the entire installation process was truly negligible.”
Mr. Lohan also found WANSync’s recovery capabilities to be everything he had hoped for. “If our data center in Bermuda goes down for any reason, we need to be able to pick up operations from Dublin instantaneously,” he says. “If replication is interrupted due to yet another disaster, we could end up with corrupt data on both ends. Luckily, WANSync offers a data rewind feature that will let us easily roll back our servers in Dublin to the last successful replication and start things going again from there. This solution gives us real peace of mind.”
“WANSync represents the most advanced WAN-based application availability and data distribution platform on the market,” says Leonid Shtilman, Founder and CEO of XOsoft. “Data Rewind technology is embedded in all XOsoft products, allowing enterprises to simply roll corrupted data resources back to their most recent consistent state, and essentially ‘undo’ application and database corruption.”
