How do you keep control of legacy data, while adopting new technologies?

Adopting new technologies and delivery mechanisms enabled a global recruitment company with annual revenues of nearly $1Bn to consolidate their data-centre footprint.

Legacy technologies were retired to deliver savings across their global estate. Compliance requirements meant data held on backup tapes (spanning multiple technologies) had to be retained for a minimum of 11 years, posing the question: how could they retire the legacy infrastructure but meet their obligation to identify, access and restore when required?

TDS consulted with the client to understand their challenges and how best to meet their requirements and designed and implemented a global managed service that:

• Guaranteed the ability to recover their data when required.
• Ensured projects were delivered on-time.
• Created a single process for all the business locations to access and recover data, regardless of the technologies used or location served.
• Generated cost savings by facilitating the retirement of the legacy infrastructure and resources.

?“The Restoration Assurance Program” enabled the client to manage cost and mitigate risk ?whilst meeting all legal, regulatory and other business requirements.
