New disaster recovery concept with PRIMERGY servers at Lingenheld civil engineering company

The customer

Lingenheld SAS is an independent SME, whose management remains firmly family-controlled, employing 450 people and turning over €120 million annually. The group is structured around four pillars, each representing one of its four areas: civil engineering, property development, environment and industry. Lingenheld has evolved to serve the entire north-east of France, specifically the regions of Moselle, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin and Vosges. 

Its expertise spans all tasks related to modern transport networks: large earthworks, road construction, landscaping and urban construction, sewer and pipeline construction.

The challenge

• Installation of a second data center
• Create a backup environment to guarantee group production
• Provide a core ERP system: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 with the 4PS application layer

The solution

• 1 x FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX350 with DataCore software at the backup site
• 2 x FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX350 with DataCore software at the head office

The benefit

• The DataCore software allows a synchronous fiber channel storage area network (FC SAN) to be installed at the head office
• The site recovery manager (SRM), VMware tool, is perfect for disaster recovery planning; above all it allows tests to be carried out on the backup environment without affecting production
• The solution built around VMware and DataCore, with Fujitsu hardware, has helped to create the necessary interfaces to test disaster recovery plans
