Technology Category	Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Backup & Recovery Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Computing
Applicable Industries	Cement
Applicable Functions	Discrete Manufacturing
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services
Challenge	Cementos Progreso, a Guatemala-based company, recognized the need for a disaster recovery solution outside its earthquake-prone country to ensure operations would continue uninterrupted in the event of a natural disaster. The company was concerned that a suitable solution would require a significant investment in equipment, infrastructure, and support. The firm already had a colocation site within Guatemala but realized that for true resilience, the company needed to implement disaster recovery provision outside the country to avoid losing access to the twelve critical business applications, including SAP, the business relies on.

About Customer	Cementos Progreso, founded in 1899, is the largest producer and distributor of cement and other construction materials in South America with more than 1,800 employees. Based in Guatemala, tumultuous weather conditions mean the risk of natural disaster in the region remains high. The company needed to proactively protect its business from disruption in the event of an earthquake, which could overwhelmingly increase demand on their products. Read More
Solution	The solution proposed by 11:11 Systems was its 11:11 Managed Recovery, which would give Cementos Progreso the ability to replicate all twelve of its critical applications, including SAP, with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than 30 minutes and a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of under four hours. As well as superior recovery times, the cement manufacturer would benefit from managed replication with failover, no need for capital expenditure, and operating expenses that were lower than a traditional colocation alternative. 11:11 Managed Recovery is an automated recovery solution for physical and virtual servers with near zero data loss in an always-on secure, enterprise-class cloud infrastructure.
