Information2’s CloudCDM cloud disaster recovery solution, with its innovative hybrid IT architecture, successfully addresses PAMA’s challenges in data backup and disaster recovery, providing robust data security for PAMA’s digital transformation journey. At the same time, it reduces management and operational costs, helping PAMA continue to lead in the mining industry.

As a leading enterprise in the Indonesian mining industry, PAMA boasts rich mineral resources and a wide business layout. With the continuous expansion of its business, the surge in data volume poses higher requirements for PAMA’s data management and disaster recovery capabilities. Traditional local disaster recovery solutions are not only costly but also difficult to ensure immediate data recovery and business continuity in the face of potential risks such as natural disasters and human errors. Therefore, PAMA urgently needs a new disaster recovery solution that can both ensure data security and reduce costs while improving efficiency.

In response to PAMA’s specific needs, the CloudCDM cloud disaster recovery solution emerged. This solution adopts a hybrid IT architecture, cleverly combining local and cloud resources to achieve seamless data migration and efficient management. Specifically, the CloudCDM solution builds a powerful cloud disaster recovery system for Specific Steps includes:

• Cloud Data Backup: Leveraging advanced cloud technology, CloudCDM real-time replicates PAMA’s critical business data to cloud EVS disks. With their high performance, reliability, and scalability, EVS disks ensure secure storage and rapid access to data.
• Hybrid IT Architecture Integration: The CloudCDM solution fully leverages the advantages of the hybrid IT architecture, effectively integrating PAMA’s local IT infrastructure with resources from cloud service providers such as Huawei Cloud. This architecture retains the flexibility and control of the local IT environment while leveraging the elastic scalability and cost-effectiveness of the cloud.
• Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: The disaster recovery center established in the cloud provides PAMA with powerful disaster recovery capabilities. In the event of data loss or system failure, PAMA can quickly recover data from the cloud disaster recovery center to ensure continuous business operations and reduce losses.
• Simplified Management and Operations: The CloudCDM solution achieves centralized monitoring and management of the disaster recovery system through a unified cloud management platform. This not only reduces operational costs but also improves management efficiency, allowing PAMA to focus more on the development of its core business.

Dual Assurance of Business Continuity and Data Security: The CloudCDM cloud disaster recovery solution effectively ensures PAMA’s business continuity and data security. Even in extreme situations, data can be quickly recovered to ensure normal business operations, enhancing customer trust in the company.

Significantly Enhanced Digital System Security: Through storage backup on cloud EVS disks, PAMA’s overall digital system security has been significantly improved. Encrypted data transmission and storage further enhance data security, preventing risks of data leakage and tampering.

Significant Reduction in Management and Operational Costs: The unified cloud management platform of the CloudCDM solution simplifies PAMA’s IT operations and reduces operational costs. At the same time, the flexibility of the hybrid IT architecture enables PAMA to dynamically adjust resources according to business needs, improving resource utilization.

In the power industry, a pillar industry related to national economy and people’s livelihood, data security and business continuity are the lifeblood of the enterprise’s stable operation. The power industry is both technology-intensive and asset-intensive. In the event of a large-scale data disaster, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Facing practical issues such as decentralized data center construction, inadequate disaster recovery systems, and blind spots in disaster recovery for small data nodes, Guodian Changzhou Power Generating worked together with a leading disaster recovery solution provider to build a unified management platform for continuous protection of core data and business continuity, setting a new benchmark for data security and business continuity in the power industry.

As a leading enterprise in the domestic power industry, the power company has a large scale and highly interconnected business processes. Generating, transmission, sale, and consumption are closely linked, and data loss or business interruption in any part can have a severe impact on the entire system. However, traditional data center construction is often divided by administrative regions, resulting in incomplete construction of some regional disaster recovery centers and obvious blind spots in disaster recovery for small data nodes. In addition, during the actual construction of disaster recovery projects, not only is technical stability and controllability required, but also ease of unified management to reduce labor management costs.

To address the above issues, Guodian Changzhou Power Generating decided to build a unified management platform for continuous protection of core data and business continuity. The solution is divided into two phases of construction. The unified management platform includes five functional modules, aiming to achieve multi-layered, multi-strategy, and full-domain data protection and management effects.

Phase I Construction Objectives and Implementation Steps:

• Site Survey and Grade Classification: Conduct a comprehensive survey of the existing data centers and classify them based on business importance and data sensitivity to provide a scientific basis for subsequent construction.
• Basic Platform Construction: Build a basic unified management platform to enable all subsequent construction to be managed uniformly by the platform, improving management efficiency and response speed.
• System Online Hot Migration: Use third-party migration tools to perform online hot migration of some systems that need to be migrated to the virtualization platform to ensure uninterrupted business continuity.
• Continuous Protection of Business Systems and Data: Focus on the continuous protection of business systems and data, using advanced disaster recovery technologies to ensure system and data security.

Phase II Construction Objectives and Implementation Steps: Based on Phase I, continue to expand the functional modules of the unified management platform to achieve continuous protection of core business and data.

• Core Business Continuity Protection Module: Add continuity protection for core business systems to ensure rapid business recovery in the event of a disaster.
• Core Database Dual-Active Module: Build a dual-active architecture for the core database to improve database availability and fault tolerance.

Through the construction of the unified management platform, the company has achieved multi-layered and multi-strategy data protection and management, effectively solving issues such as decentralized data center construction and inadequate disaster recovery systems. At the same time, the platform’s core technology is safe and controllable, meeting the requirements of the current trend of localization. Additionally, the overall solution starts from the main functional modules related to data protection, refines the complex project of information security construction, achieves phased construction of disaster recovery projects, and reduces implementation difficulty and management costs.
