In this data-driven era, data is the cornerstone of our daily lives. It has become a vital medium that connects everything—our businesses, customers, and partners. For over two decades, I have worked in the data industry, from storage security to business continuity management, always believing that flowing data has the power to unlock tremendous value. This belief is shared by our colleagues, customers, and partners, which is why they have chosen to embark on this journey with Information2.
Founded in the summer of 2011, Information2 has been fortunate to serve a broad range of renowned clients across industries, including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China National Petroleum Corporation, China Mobile Communications, China Southern Power Grid, Zain in Saudi Arabia, and PAMA in Indonesia. Why do our clients choose us? Each year, I meet with numerous CIOs and CEOs of technology partners, and I value their honest feedback. From these discussions, I have identified four key factors that have earned us their trust:
Our disaster recovery and high availability solutions have long been a source of pride. Industries with stringent business continuity needs, such as finance, telecommunications, healthcare, manufacturing, and energy, require systems that remain stable and operational without interruption. Information2’s disaster recovery software—our first company-level product—provides high availability protection at the application level, whether locally, remotely, or in the cloud. It ensures automatic failover, enabling seamless switching during business disruptions. Today, we believe our solutions are among the best in the field.
Our multi-strategy backup solutions are the key to meeting clients' diverse data protection needs. Given the varying importance and types of data, ensuring resilience across different levels of data while implementing cost-effective backup strategies is a priority we all share. Information2 offers two key backup strategies: Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and traditional Backup. Our True CDP provides real-time backup to the microsecond, enabling point-in-time recovery. The Backup strategy facilitates efficient protection across physical and virtual machines, and between data centers, with support for archiving to storage media such as tape libraries and optical disks. These solutions have enabled major banking clients to protect over 300PB of data against ransomware and data loss.
Our database replication capabilities demonstrate our deep expertise in data capture and transmission. By using logical replication capture and parsing technology, along with an intuitive visual interface, we break down the barriers of low synchronization efficiency across different platforms. Clients in sectors like securities, healthcare, manufacturing, food, and construction have successfully captured production data for use in big data platforms, data hubs, and business departments. For example, our database synchronization software enabled real-time synchronization, read-write separation, and high availability disaster recovery for a semiconductor manufacturer in Shanghai, solving the problem of complex data transmission via a unified visual management platform.
Cloud data management is our all-encompassing solution for data migration, sharing, and management, as well as Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). Information2 enables seamless migration between cloud platforms, secure privatized file sharing, and flexible, pay-as-you-go cloud disaster recovery capabilities. A notable achievement was assisting China Mobile in migrating over 14,000 cloud hosts, including over 4,000 enterprises and 100 of its own businesses, from their old cloud resource pool to a new one. Additionally, our enterprise file-sharing management platform, equipped with AI capabilities, now interfaces with large language models to provide intelligent Q&A functionality.
All of these capabilities can be efficiently managed through a unified interface—a feature that even our competitors have acknowledged as innovative.
We are deeply confident that the future of competition will be centered on data. As we enter the new era of digital intelligence, we will continue to enhance our offerings, delivering superior products and services to our clients, and generating greater returns for our partners and investors.
