Executive Summary

Meet Marketing (India) Pvt. Ltd., a leading manufacturing company, needed a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery (DR) solution to protect its on-premises workloads. Their legacy DR setup involved local backups on NAS devices with no redundancy, exposing them to downtime and data loss. As an AWS Partner, Arterius Solutions implemented AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) to replicate on-premises servers to AWS in near real-time. The solution reduced recovery time objectives (RTO) to under 30 minutes, minimized data loss, and eliminated the need for costly secondary data center infrastructure.

Customer Overview

Meet Marketing (India) Pvt. Ltd. is a mid-sized manufacturing firm headquartered in Pune, India, with operations across Asia. Their IT infrastructure supported ERP, production scheduling, and supplier management applications. Ensuring uptime and data availability was critical for uninterrupted manufacturing and supply chain operations.

Challenge

The customer faced significant risks with its traditional DR approach:

• Single-point backup: Data stored on a NAS device lacked redundancy.
• High downtime: Restoring systems after failure required 12+ hours.
• Expensive options: A secondary physical DR site was financially unfeasible.
• Compliance gaps: Industry regulations required secure, auditable DR capabilities.

Any disruption to IT services would directly impact production schedules and delivery commitments, creating financial and reputational risks.

Solution

Arterius Solutions, an AWS Partner, designed a resilient DR solution with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) to replicate on-premises VMware workloads into AWS.

Key solution components:

• AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) for continuous replication of on-prem servers.
• Amazon EC2 to launch critical workloads during failover.
• Amazon S3 for cost-efficient, durable storage of snapshots.
• Amazon CloudWatch for real-time monitoring of replication health.
• AWS KMS for end-to-end encryption of data.
• AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for secure access control.

Deployment included migration of 05 production VMs (ERP and database servers) to AWS with automated recovery plans to prioritize ERP and database services.

Results

The AWS-based DR solution delivered measurable benefits:

• 90% faster recovery: RTO reduced from 12 hours to under 30 minutes.
• Near-zero data loss: RPO achieved under 10 seconds with continuous replication.
• Cost savings: Avoided building and maintaining a physical DR site, reducing DR costs by 65%.
• Compliance achieved: Encryption and centralized logging supported industry audit requirements.
• Future-ready: Scalable to protect additional workloads as the business grows.

The customer is now planning to extend AWS-based DR to supplier management systems and evaluate modernization of its ERP into Amazon RDS.
