With IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, PT Wings Surya accelerates backup and recovery jobs, safeguarding business continuity and helping business users to unlock the insights required to optimize its supply chain operations.
The company enjoys the intuitive user-interface and the advanced functionality of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus which simplifies backup tasks, and removes the need for time-consuming programming tasks.
Daniel Tjandra comments: “Every time we updated the rest of our core systems, it would cause significant issues with the data transfer to the tape drive, and we would have to dedicate many hours to scripting new commands before we could complete backup and recovery jobs.
“With the IBM solution, we have the flexibility to use disk or cloud as secondary storage instead of tape and can schedule automatic backups in line with our data protection policies. Thanks to Spectrum Protect Plus, we complete backup jobs 40 percent faster than previously, cutting the time taken from eight to five hours.”
By eliminating the need for its tape drive and enabling its backup team to focus on more value tasks, PT Wings Surya drives up the efficiency of its operating model. Daniel Tjandra adds: “Based on the results, we estimate that we have reduced our backup costs with Spectrum Protect Plus by 60 percent.”
By using IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, PT Wings Surya keeps its mission-critical data protected and available for its business users to run the analytics tasks that keep the company ahead of its rivals. In the event of a disaster or data corruption, the company can take advantage of near-instant search and restore functionality and rapidly recover files and virtual machine settings from its secondary storage location, minimizing disruption to core operations.
Daniel Tjandra concludes: “We are very glad that we chose to continue our partnership with IBM. We are confident of the long-term benefits of the deployment. Spectrum Protect Plus strengthens our disaster recovery plan and prevents interruption to the key processes that help us bring products to market and sharpen our competitive edge.”
