Software provider for pharmacies selects Yosemite to protect key dataIntroduction
For more than 30 years ADG has been recognized for their innovative technology. With more than 4,500 customers ADG has set measures in the development of inventory control and electronic point of sale (EPOS) systems for pharmacies.
Their success can be attributed to the high quality of their products and many years of experience. Successful pharmacy management decisively depends on the right pharmacy software. As market leader of Windows based systems, ADG know what it takes. As well as superior technology, ADG offer rapid, on-site support from more than 20 locations across Germany.
Challenge
The reliability of inventory control and the high availability of the data are an important criterion for pharmacies, because outages in this area are costly and impact the customer relations experience. Data backup is a mission critical service that demands innovation. Today, pharmacies have longer and longer operational hours and the existing data protection strategy was no longer a viable option.
ADG recognized the need to integrate an easy to use yet sophisticated backup product with its software that could address the following:
Solution
ADG researched a series of backup solutions. After a thorough price, feature and usability comparison, ADG chose Yosemite's solution. ADG certified it as the backup product for its S3000 inventory control based around a single server implemented in each pharmacy. The Yosemite solution is planned to roll out to 600 customers, with the first phase of implementation already kicked off in the second quarter of 2005. ADG standardized on the following tools:
Benefits
The pharmacies ADG supports experience immediate benefits from the new Yosemite solution. By implementing Yosemite TapeWare Master Server, the end user gets centralized control of the overall data protection strategy. The easy to use backup wizards allow the end user to regularly perform scheduled backups during operation.
In case of a hard disk failure a fast and unproblematic disaster recovery is the main criterion for an up-to-date backup solution. Other disaster recovery products require complete OS re-installation before recovering the server. Yosemite's HP OBDR (One-Button Disaster Recovery) function support allows any 'full' backup tape to be a disaster recovery tape because all the necessary boot information is automatically created on the tape.
"Non-disruptive online data backup is one of the most important services that ADG can provide to its customers. Reliable, easy backup of all pharmacy data was the decisive factor in choosing Yosemite TapeWare."
Rudolf Koegel, Managing Director of ADG
Mr. Koegel added "The installation, use and management of Yosemite TapeWare is extremely easy, making automated, reliable daily backup of the entire server that stores the pharmacy system possible for all our customers. We feel that in selecting Yosemite TapeWare we are offering the best solution for our customers."
Yosemite provides an easy to use, wizard-driven interface that is simple enough for a novice user and sophisticated enough to protect the most complex environments. Working in concert with HP as a part of the software solution has provided ADG customers a comprehensive data protection solution.
