Case study

Disaster recovery for a major golf manufacturer

After a spin-off from its parent company, a golf manufacturer had to stand up its own secure network and keep global production running. We designed a disaster recovery site and now manage its network and security around the clock.

  • Disaster recovery enabled within three minutes
  • Virtually no loss of data on failover
  • 24/7 network and security visibility

The challenge

Becoming independent without stopping production

Spun off from its parent company, the manufacturer needed a secure, fast network of its own to support production. That meant a new network, a security solution and a disaster recovery design that reused existing infrastructure where possible and added new infrastructure where needed. Meanwhile, IT had to keep supporting every part of the business as it separated from the parent.

The company depends on global distribution and manufacturing facilities, and on the network that connects them. It had to protect intellectual property, customer data and its brand against sophisticated attacks and insider threats, on budget, in a short time and with limited staff.

  • A new, independent network built during the spin-off
  • Intellectual property and customer data to protect
  • Global manufacturing and distribution that couldn’t stop
  • A tight timeline, a fixed budget and a small team

What we did

A disaster recovery site that doubles as production

We started with a present and forward strategic evaluation of where the IT organization stood and where it was headed. The manufacturer then worked with our engineers to design and deploy a disaster recovery site, re-architecting the existing network while it stayed in operation around the clock.

The security strategy protects data moving across the WAN, which keeps the disaster recovery site highly available and ready to run as a production site when needed. Our managed services now cover the manufacturer’s network infrastructure, management and security.

  • Strategic evaluation of current and future IT needs
  • Disaster recovery site design and deployment
  • Network re-architecture while the network kept running
  • WAN security for data in transit
  • 24x7x365 monitoring through managed SOC and managed services

Results

What changed for the manufacturer

  • The disaster recovery plan can be enabled within three minutes
  • Failover with virtually no loss of data
  • Complete 24/7 network and security visibility with MDR
  • Manufacturing and distribution on demand without network worries
  • Managed services that support operations six days a week
  • Leadership confident the infrastructure can handle future challenges
