To support the growing needs of the market, NOK has established facilities outside of Japan over the years in the Asean Oceania region, in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. With a large company manpower size of over 7,000 employees, huge amounts of important data are produced daily by the company.
A previous project with Adventus enables NOK to backup their data both on premise and to the cloud; achieving excellent Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for their data.
However, if a serious disaster were to happen, for example, a fire that destroys all their servers, they would be able to recover their data from the cloud but they would not have servers to run their applications.
The perfect disaster recovery plan would be to have the same amount of computing and storage resources at a secondary location that could take over in the event of a disaster. However, to achieve that, costs will have to be incurred to purchase the additional computing and storage resources required, rent the facility to house the infrastructure, hire the manpower to maintain the infrastructure, and purchase the solutions for backup and failover.
Balancing costs and benefits, most companies would choose to scale down their disaster recovery infrastructure and run only critical applications in the event of a disaster.
