Prime Healthcare Slashes Active Directory Disaster Recovery Time with Semperis ADFR
David Yancey, Senior Systems Engineer at Prime Healthcare, tells how a planned internal change that went wrong gave him the opportunity to overhaul his entire Active Directory (AD) disaster recovery plan with Semperis Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR). That incident highlighted a critical problem for an organization that runs 45 acute care hospitals in 14 states and has more than 50,000 employees: The time required to restore domain controllers was too long. Every minute that systems were offline increased the risk to patient safety.
Yancey’s search for a faster, more efficient AD recovery method led him to Semperis Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR), which he said has accelerated
the organization’s recovery time by orders of magnitude.
“Basing off the worst-case scenario, with ADFR it would now be about 24 hours to completely recover—including cleaning up the metadata—at the most, compared to the previous process, which would take days,” he said. “Especially in our environment, with over 100,000 user objects. Doing the direct restore via ADFR backup is a lot quicker.”
