Client Bio
A global leader in healthcare and life sciences operating in multiple geographies, the company manages over 75 VMware workloads and 30TB of data, supported by a dedicated IT infrastructure team responsible for maintaining regulatory and operational compliance.
Situation
The enterprise relied on a traditional VMware SRM setup and physical DR sites. Differences between network configurations made it impossible to retain private IPs during failover, creating compliance gaps and extending recovery timelines. Manual adjustments during each DR cycle increased complexity and audit risk.
Impact
IP inconsistency led to failed audits, longer RTOs, and manual intervention during every recovery exercise. The company's DR operations were fragmented, costly, and error-prone, impacting both compliance assurance and IT efficiency.
Solution
Datamotive implemented an agentless VMware?AWS DR solution that enabled the organization to retain private IPs across DR sites seamlessly. By eliminating physical DR infrastructure, the platform reduced costs by 60%. Orchestration handled recovery automatically, and incremental failback ensured consistency across environments. The organization now enjoys 10-minute recovery SLAs, full IP retention, and effortless audit compliance.
