A highly successful growth strategy has seen BOBST acquire many companies, with numerous new branch offices being integrated into the IT infrastructure. Each site had its own physical and virtual servers, local storage, services and backup, making the vast IT landscape difficult to manage. A localized backup system was making it challenging to provide comprehensive data protection, with implications for disaster recovery. With Riverbed SteelFusion, BOBST is now able to consolidate 100% of its global branch office data and IT infrastructure in the data center, allowing new sites to be quickly set up and enabling fast recovery in the event of a site failure – all without any compromise to application performance for remote workers.
