eHosting DataFort is offering Disaster Recovery (DR) facilities to Atlantis The Palm in Dubai, the iconic property managed by the hospitality conglomerate Kerzner International.

Due to the hotel's location on the Palm and close proximity to the sea, the Atlantis IT department foresaw a vulnerability of its servers to water-related calamities. The on-going construction activities in the neighbouring area were also seen as a threat to fibre services coming into the Palm. The possibility of a single point of failure and eventual disconnection of services were identified as top risks.

Following a six-month selection process, eHDF was selected as a partner of choice for its ability to meet the project's location needs and provide a robust and resilient infrastructure.

Real time replication, duplication, backup and full mirroring were among the services provided to Atlantis The Palm. Data movement was conducted with the use of SnapMirror, a software used to back up and replicate between sites. eHDF has also installed alerts and automation tools that notify them of any change in temperature or state of the drives.
