Essar cuts down drill time by 75% with Sanovi DRM

Sanovi Technologies has completed the implementation of DR solution for the Essar Group's production planning and production applications at their Corporate headquarters.
Covering critical ERP functions, the Sanovi DRM Suite is implemented across Essar's primary and DR locations
Essar's Oil & Steel division runs their production on SAP and their production planning on I2 applications.
"The business has mandated a Recovery point Objective of one hour and a Recovery time Objective of five hours, which the Corporate IT team was finding hard pressed to deliver before the Sanovi solution was put in place", said Essar's Jayantha Prabhu, Head IT - Infrastructure.
For an organization, that spells considerable saving in terms of manpower costs and down-time required for mandatory DR drills.
In fact, Essar has streamlined its DR processes and increased its frequency of holding DRM drills to twice a year.
DRM combines monitoring, reporting, testing and workflow automation capabilities of complex IT infrastructure into a scalable, easy-to-use solution built on industry standards.
The DR solution for Essar aimed at overcoming the challenges faced by Essar, viz, lack of real-time monitoring of DR Readiness, incident management, application level replication of processes as well as database.
Sanovi DR solution automates the DR drills reducing dependency on expertise of individuals and significantly cutting down complexity of the processes. The unified DR management delivers real-time DR readiness validation and offer clear business and operational advantages.
