Nestlé Waters protects ERP with Double-Take Availability

The factory supplies bottled water to retailers, offices and homes across Saudi Arabia, and IT manager Wael-Al-Baz says that business continuity is critical. He also indicates that the company had another major challenge around the availability of bandwidth between its branch offices – with three sites spread over 600 miles and some 360 users connected to its Ostazi ERP solution. He says that Nestlé Waters needed to update its availability and protection software, and upgrade to a more modern solution. Hence Double-Take Availability, which, says Al-Baz, provides a high-performance, cost-effective solution for real-time replication of data. "Double-Take Availability was the obvious choice for us, as the product provides real-time replication of data across the LAN and WAN environment," comments Al-Baz. "It is an efficient solution and can work over networks where bandwidth is limited," he explains. "Our network is currently growing and we are planning on installing a Microsoft Exchange server in the near future. We will implement additional Double-Take solutions to further enhance our infrastructure and at the same time, guarantee its efficiency. We also intend to protect other branches and other factories in the lower Gulf region mainly in Bahrain, Dubai and Qatar with Double-Take," adds Al-Baz.
