Rapid Recovery in the Cloud
Find out how iland Continuity Cloud leveraged Dell EqualLogic SAN technology enabling Fleet Lease Disposal, Inc. to restore their IT infrastructure and data in less than one hour, save thousands of dollars and man hours a year and achieve an 18 month ROI.
The Challenge
Having your company in Delray Beach, Florida is great... until a hurricane hits. That's what happened to Fleet Lease Disposal, Inc. when hurricane Wilma struck in October 2005 and took down their main office and primary datacenter. After Wilma, Fleet Lease recognized they needed a disaster recovery solution that would allow them to have a secondary datacenter with more redundancy that was easier to manage than their current site. In Addition they needed a solution that would reduce the time and money spent updating operating systems, refreshing end of life hardware and trying to forecast how much computing capacity would be needed to recover during a diasaster.
Cost Savings
By using cloud infrastructure and having iland maintain the disaster recovery site Fleet Lease was able to save time, money and IT resources.
"The Continuity Cloud has been very cost effective with zero maintenance. Our ROI was 18 months. We recouped our investment on eqiupment servers, and everything else."
-- Santiago Ramirez, CIO
Additionally, over a 3 year period, Fleet Lease will save over $30,000 on software costs, $40,000 on internet access costs, over 1,470 man hours, and over $250,000 in hardware costs by avoiding a technology upgrade and shutting down the remote New Jersey office.
