IBM announced it has built a disaster recovery site using IBM Cloud infrastructure, intended to help KAZ Minerals protect and maintain operations - even in case of a disaster.

With natural disasters globally becoming more common and unpredictable, the company needed to update its business continuity planning, so it turned to IBM to develop a cloud-based disaster recovery site for its on-premises data center.

The hybrid cloud approach to combining disaster recovery site in cloud with the on-premises data center will position KAZ Minerals to efficiently restore mission critical business applications, including enterprise resource planning and analytics, in case a disaster affects the data center.

"With our asset base mainly consisting of large scale and low cost copper mines, we need to keep the operating overheads at bay and the IBM's cloud-based disaster recovery solution does exactly that - by eliminating the need for additional capex while providing a clear price/usage pattern," said Stanislav Dmitriyev, Group IT Director at KAZ Minerals.

"Agility is key, and our cloud resources and virtualization technologies allow IBM to implement complex infrastructure projects in quick timeframes and provide large industrial clients such as KAZ Minerals with disaster recovery solutions to address their business requirements and protect their business-critical workloads," said Nikolay Molchanov, Infrastructure Services Leader, IBM Russia and the CIS..
