Clear Technologies: Enhancing Data Availability and Migration with IoT

Precisely

Technology Category	Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Backup & Recovery Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Computing
Applicable Functions	Maintenance Sales & Marketing
Use Cases	Real-Time Location System (RTLS)
Services	Hardware Design & Engineering Services System Integration
Challenge	Clear Technologies, a company that helps businesses maximize the value from information technologies, operates in a highly competitive environment. The company not only competes against other vendors but also against the status quo. To secure a sale, Clear Technologies often has to convince potential customers that the benefits of the new technology justify the cost of switching from the existing technology, including any associated downtime costs. The company's value proposition is to increase organizational effectiveness through innovative products, services, and solutions. However, the hardware and software it sells can't provide value if it is down. Therefore, part of Clear Technologies' revenue is derived from ensuring that their customers' data and applications are always available, even in the event of system failures, disasters, or normal planned maintenance. To support this business model, Clear Technologies needed a business partner that could supply advanced high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and migration solutions. Read More

Solution	Clear Technologies partnered with Precisely to offer customers powerful, reliable HA, DR, and migration options. The company relies on Assure MIMIX HA as its go-to-market offering when customers need rock-solid data and application availability. It replicates all user and system data from a production server to a backup in real-time. If the need arises, customers can failover to the backup server with no data loss and almost no downtime. Clear Technologies recently installed Assure MIMIX HA at two customers, both subsidiaries of the same company. Each subsidiary now runs production in a partition on its IBM i-based server, with another partition functioning as the backup server for the other company. This setup ensures real-time replicas of their production servers that they can failover to whenever necessary, without the need for additional hardware. Assure MIMIX HA also makes it easy, fast, and non-disruptive to adopt new technologies. When selling a new server, Clear Technologies can offer to use Assure MIMIX HA to migrate the customer’s old server to a new one in the background, with almost no downtime.
