Asian HR Consultant Gemini Personnel Deploys FalconStor

FalconStor
Software, Inc. has completed
the deployment of the FalconStor CDP) solution with
RecoverTrac automated DR technology for Gemini
Personnel Ltd, a human capital management solutions provider, for faster
backup and recovery to ensure continuous business operations.

Founded in 1983, Gemini Personnel focuses on talent recruitment, candidate assessment,
human resources consultancy and support services. As a member of the US-based National Personnel Associates Network,
Gemini Personnel’s services span the globe. In addition to its Hong Kong
office, Gemini Personnel also has offices in mainland China cities such as
Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou as well as in Bangkok and Singapore.

Gemini Personnel needed to protect thousands of
clients’ files, email messages, databases, graphics and website content. The
company wanted reliable and secure daily backups and the ability for fast
recovery of data and critical IT services whenever needed.

Gemini Personnel’s IT department, based in its Hong
Kong office, is staffed by only three members, including IT manager Wilson
Chien. Already familiar with the concept of how a CDP system works, the company
evaluated solutions available in the market and selected FalconStor CDP
software.

"Backup is
now practically immediate with the FalconStor CDP solution, which performs
backup by means of taking regular data snapshots," said Chien. "Data recovery is fast and efficient, and we
can ensure data recovery points from any given moment in time to continue
working. This solution saves us time, manpower resources and costs, and it is
very easy to setup and use. We had it up and running live within two days,
which included system installation, configuration, testing and deployment."

Gemini Personnel also has leveraged the RecoverTrac
automated DR functionality of the FalconStor CDP solution for their DR drill.

"With our
DR procedure scripted in advance, anyone in the IT department can now perform a
system recovery correctly," said Chien. "This eliminates potential human and procedural errors that occur in a
manual operation and allows for even faster and assured recovery."

The CDP system gives customers ongoing data
availability through continuous and backup, remote replication and
automated DR.

With up to 1,000 snapshots per LUN, a customer can set
as many recovery points needed to backup files, email messages, applications
and system software as often as needed to meet the best RTO to support business
requirements.

"In Gemini
Personnel’s case, we worked directly and closely in partnership with Maxco Technology Ltd, one
of our Preferred Business Partners, to tailor a backup and DR system that meets
the customer’s particular business needs and operations," said James
Ho, country manager for Hong Kong and Macau for FalconStor. "We won this account because we were able to
demonstrate unique business value with the right solution, skills and
experience; and we exercised great flexibility in enabling the customer to do
more with less."
