Information2 Enables China Southern Power Grid to Achieve Virtual Machine Disaster Recovery and Failover
As China Southern Power Grid Peak Shaving and Frequency Regulation Power Generation Co., Ltd. advances its digital transformation in power dispatching, it has partnered with Information2 to achieve high availability and disaster recovery for massive virtual machines. This collaboration enables one-click failover and failback without manual intervention, significantly improving operational efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the solution enhances data security and business continuity, supporting China Southern Power Grid’s digital transformation.
The company’s business systems operate on China Southern Power Grid’s cloud platform, but high availability (HA) had not been established. With increasing digitization, ensuring business continuity became an urgent priority. Any cloud platform failure could lead to a shutdown of critical business systems, resulting in incalculable losses. The company sought a disaster recovery solution to maintain business continuity by enabling failover from cloud to on-premises systems.
After evaluating the existing platform and environment, Information2 helped the company establish an on-premises VMware virtualization platform and implemented a one-to-one cloud-to-local disaster recovery solution using high availability software. The steps included:
Cloud-to-local disaster recovery involves large-scale system migration, network accessibility, platform deployment, and maintenance. With i2Availability, once disaster recovery policies are set, any unplanned system failure or downtime will trigger an automatic failover, ensuring continuous business operations.
By implementing Information2’s migration and high availability solution, the company successfully reused existing data center infrastructure to build a multi-layered protection mechanism for its core business systems. This minimized the risk of downtime caused by single-system or cloud platform failures. The solution also improved overall system reliability and availability without requiring significant additional hardware investments, achieving both economic and operational benefits.
As digital transformation accelerates, disaster recovery and high availability are becoming critical for our core business systems. By adopting Information2’s solution, we have significantly improved business continuity management. The system is now more stable and reliable, ensuring uninterrupted operations even in unexpected situations.
