 Customer: Bestop, Inc., Louisville, CO
Initial Solution: Cloud DR, led to Cloud Migration
Rep: Riley Biggs / SE: Paulo Torres / Reg Mgr: Jason Katz

• Competition: AWS
• Initial interest was in Ransomware and Disaster Recovery protection
• Began as Cloud DR protection for 110 On-premise VMware VMs, leading to
complete migration to OCI
• Recent wildfire in CO impacted their data center location, which has further
increased their sense of urgency to implement Cloud DR
• Oppty Summary: Plan to migrate all on-premise workloads, using Cloud DR
migration capability, over next 1-2 years, then interest in implementing OCI
region-to region Cloud DR once workloads are in OCI
 Customer: ADD Systems, Inc., Flanders, NJ
Solution: Cloud Migration, led to Cloud DR

• Competition: AWS
• Initial request was for Cloud Migration of 50 VMs from AWS to OCI
• Began as a migration project, and led to follow-on interest in Cloud DR
• Ransomware and Disaster Recovery protection are important initiatives
• Oppty Summary: Migrate 50 workloads from AWS to OCI first, then provide
OCI region-to region Cloud DR once 50 workloads are in OCI

Phase I (Set-up)
Install and configure ZConverter DR Manager(s)(ZDM) in source and target environments to create a dedicated ZConverter Disaster
1
Recovery Portal
2 Install an agent file on all source machines or VMs

3 Set-up backup schedule(s) on each source machine (i.e. hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or minutes )
Set-up replication schedule(s) on ZDM (i.e. daily, weekly, or monthly)
4
Replicate the ZIA image files from the source ZDM to the target ZDM
Phase II (Cloud DR Drill) – Run a pre-built Terraform script to initiate automated DR Drill processes

5 Create target VMs in OCI

6 Start recovery process to target Cloud VMs (created automatically by Terraform script)

7 Login to the recovered VMs then verify if all services work well
