OpCon automation makes disaster recovery easy

Speed up disaster recovery with OpCon

Typically, disaster recovery teams manually complete their failover process over the course of several hours. From shutting down primary systems, to bringing up a replicated database at a secondary site, to keeping everything in sync during the failover process, there are often hundreds of steps from start to finish.

Putting OpCon in charge of disaster recovery automates most of those steps. That means fewer operators, no possibility of human error, and lightning fast workflow speeds. Often, a single person can manage the entire disaster recovery process in a fraction of the time that it would normally take a team of experts.

Faster disaster recovery for better service

VyStar Credit Union is one such beneficiary of OpCon’s disaster recovery capabilities. As a larger credit union with more than 50 branches, their disaster recovery process previously took nearly three hours. That meant that they were unable to serve more than half a million members during any adverse event.

Unfortunately, adverse events are often when people most need access to their finances. During emergencies, three hours can feel like a lifetime. And, if human error in the failover process extends those three hours to four, then the credit union has failed its member base.

Using OpCon, VyStar was able to cut its failover time almost in half by automating 95% of the process. Not only did OpCon speed up recovery—it also reduced stress. Tensions were high in VyStar’ disaster recovery team because it was critical to get things done right and on time. OpCon automation required only one manual step and guaranteed accuracy and timeliness, which helped cooler heads prevail during disaster recovery scenarios.
