Cathay Pacific Holidays selects Acronis
Laptop Battery Acronis, Inc, announced that Cathay Pacific Holidays of Hong Kong has selected Acronis True Image Enterprise Server as its corporate IT disaster recovery solution.
Before Cathay Pacific Holidays implemented Acronis True Image Enterprise Server on its servers, it was using BrightStor ARCserve Backup from Computer Associates, which copied the server disk images onto tape. Due to the continuously increasing volume of data, however, only incremental backups were performed on a daily basis (full backups were done once a week). Even then, the duration of the backup process was unacceptably lengthy.
Thinkpad Cathay Pacific Holidays, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific Airways, provides a wide range of tailor-made packages to the free and independent travelers.
"Cathay Pacific Holidays' customers expect us to always go the extra mile in providing them with the best service and the best products available anywhere, " said Gemini Wong, IT manager for Cathay Pacific Holidays. "Our servers simply cannot be down. We have too many people depending on us to make sure their holidays are enjoyable, and too many partners that depend on us to ensure that their guests have a pleasant experience."

Implementation was a breeze. Cathay Pacific Holidays first installed Acronis True Image Enterprise Server on one server and used it for a week, during which checks were made to ensure that the clones were exact copies of the working server disks. Once this was verified, the implementation of the solution was expanded to the other servers. Full backups of all the servers are performed automatically at scheduled times everyday; with the entire cycle for all six servers (about 400 GB in total) taking less than two hours.
